  • Human family requirements

    I need a calm and quiet home that's filled with love and kindness.

  • Other pet requirements

    I could be an only dog or live with others but no cats!

  • House and garden requirements

    I would love a garden to run and play in!

  • Out and about requirements

    I may be worried by walks at first but I would like an active home.

  • Training needs

    I am house clean, and would love a home that will keep my Collie brain stimulated.

  • Medical issues

    My adopter will need to agree to have me neutered at the appropriate age.

Rex is a gorgeous, young Collie who arrived with us through no fault of his own, after living in tough conditions that have clearly left their mark. He can be unsure of sudden movements and sometimes reacts by dropping to the floor, a sad sign of the fear he's known. But since coming to us, Rex has begun to show that, with time and patience, he’s ready to leave the past behind.

He’s lived in a home before and is currently in a foster home and is thriving. So, some aspects of home life may be familiar, though he might need a little help finding his feet again. Rex is sociable with other dogs and could happily join a calm, friendly companion, or be the only dog in a home where he’ll get plenty of attention.

We think Rex would do well in a quieter household, possibly with kind teenagers who understand he needs time to build confidence. What he’d really love is a home where he can enjoy regular walks, explore the world at his own pace, and grow into the happy, secure dog he was always meant to be.

His adopters will need to ensure he’s neutered at the appropriate time as part of his adoption agreement.

Rex's Diary

  • Rex is a lovely young dog and he has settled into his foster home very well for a puppy who has had a difficult time recently. He has a sweet-natured, affectionate character and he is relatively easy to handle. He does know how to sit, wait, and come here. He takes treats gently and shares meal times with two resident dogs, he respects their space. In the house and garden he loves playing. He plays well with the resident boy dog and he can play with toys on his own. He sleeps through the night, he can travel in the car (looks out of the window most of the time) and he's enjoying being out in the world, watching everything new. 

    He does pull a bit on the lead because he is keen to explore and run free. He is interested in the resident cats and in birds when we are out walking, but this seems under control. He watches cars and bicycles when we do pavement walks. He tends to sit down or lie down when they go by. He will need a forever home that have experience with collies and know how to train them. He responds well to humans and dogs; he is a friendly boy when we are out on walks. He is beautiful, and he has so much potential to be a very well behaved collie dog. 

  • Rex is a beautiful young Collie who has come to us from a home through no fault of his own. This darling boy has not had the life he deserves so far and came from very poor conditions. As a result, he can be worried by sudden movements and will sometimes roll onto his back in fear - a heartbreaking reminder of what he’s been through. He now needs a kind and understanding home to show him that life can be safe, loving and full of joy.

    Rex has lived in a home before, so may know some aspects of home life, but he may need a few gentle reminders about house training and routines. He is good with other dogs and so could be homed with another kind and friendly dog, but he could also be homed as an only dog as long as his adopters had plenty of time for him.

    We would consider homing Rex with gentle teenagers who can respect his sensitive nature and will allow him time to settle in and grow in confidence. What he’d really love is an active home where he can enjoy walks and adventures and where he can begin to truly thrive.

    Despite everything, Rex greets people so sweetly and is absolutely desperate for love. He is really struggling in the kennel environment and is longing for a quiet, kind home where he can finally feel safe. Could you be the person to show him just how good life can be?

    Rex's adopters will need to agree to have him neutered at the appropriate age as part of the adoption agreement.

Can live with other dogs
