Tex

Well hi there, my name is Tex. I arrived into care a few months ago and have been working super hard on becoming the best dog, so I can finally meet my forever family! I didn’t have any training and wouldn’t listen to anything my foster mum said... I just wasn’t sure how to be a dog. I’ve definitely come a long way but I have so much more to learn and would love someone who can take the time to work with me...

I absolutely adore my humans. Wherever they are, I want to by right by their side. I love going on adventures including hiking and running and you will see my great big smile as soon as we are exploring together! I love strangers and greet everyone with cuddles. Don’t expect me to be a good guard dog as the most I’ll do is give them big kisses. I have come a long way since arriving into care. I had no idea what was expected of me and how to behave like a dog... but now, I understand boundaries, have good manners and am the most obedient boy I know how to sit, stay, drop, roll over, will wait for my food, am crate trained and know not to leave the backyard if the gate is open. My foster mum has been amazing with me and has gone above and beyond to teach me the ways of the world but I still have a long way to go. I would love my forever family to continue my training snd ensure I am always on my best behaviour. I can sometimes push the boundaries when I get excited, but having someone patient and consistent with me, I am sure to become the most perfect and loyal companion.

I can be reactive with other dogs... I happily live with a submissive male dog with no issues, other than the fact I can be a little bossy and snappy. I can get a little agitated when other animals are in my face... do they not understand social distancing? I would be the perfect only pet, as long as I was included as part of the family. I currently live with a cat and we like to keep our distance. I once had to tell him off for rubbing on my face but other than that we coexist peacefully. I am not to be homed with chickens or livestock. There is something about them that I do not like and it is not safe for me to be anywhere near them! I’m perfectly house trained and know to go outside to the toilet. I’m a real boys boy and like to mark my territory, but never not on the grass!

I have some anxiety issues and it did take me a little while to settle into my foster home. I would cry and bark when my humans would leave me, because I loved them so much and would miss them. But since settling I have been much better and only cry occasionally when they leave. I hope my forever family will be understanding with this and know that it can take some time for me to settle. I love car trips and will shake with excitement waiting for you to open the door! I sometimes even sneak in the car when my humans aren’t looking in hopes I can go wherever they are going... I just want to be with them always 🙂

Have you noticed I’m super handsome too? Not only do I have the looks but have the charm... I can double as the perfect wingman?! The girls just adore me.
Well that’s all from me... I hope my forever family are out there reading my profile and have fallen in love with me... please read below on how to adopt me!
