About Rex (east)

Rex A4103501 Hi, my name is Rex. I'm a 9 year old male, neutered, White and Red Shiba Inu mix. I was surrendered by my family who could no longer care for me. The shelter staff here thinks I may be hard of hearing, since I react when approached from behind. I'm a really sweet and timid older gentleman who desperately wants to get back into a home. I was brought to the shelter when I nipped a neighbor when they picked me up from behind. I can can be startled easily, which is likely what happened in that scenario. I do not like walking on leash, but I'm is learning- I go at a very slow pace, but that partly seems because I want to stay outside and not go back to that nasty old kennel. When I go to the play yards, I like to hange out with calm, polite dogs. When I get to know you, I will try to climb up on you for attention and petting; I really like people, but just need time to get to know you. Because I'm older, I have the needs of any senior dog. I prefer calm, polite interactions, so kids, ages 14+ are recommended. I would love to have a small yard, so I can explore, but then come inside and lounge on my bed. I am very stressed and sad at the shelter, so I am more than ready to find my forever home.
