Gentle giant Rex is a big, energetic boy with a larger-than-life personality!

The four-year-old crossbreed, who currently resides with Dogs Trust Basildon, in Wickford, loves toys, particularly squeaky ones.

He is a smart boy, with a taste for yummy treats and he responds very well to reward-based training.

Rex loves human company and prefers a quiet life and would suit a calm location, with a relatively low dog population. He would be best suited to a home with a maximum of two adults, where he is the only pet.

A must for Rex is a private and secure garden at home to allow him some off-lead time to zoom about and a safe space for him to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

The lovable dog would benefit from a family who have knowledge or experience of rescue dogs and are open to taking the time to understand his personality and his needs.
