About Rex
Hello friends, my name is Rex. I am a big (27 kgs!), sweet, 6 year old, black and tan Kelpie fella.
I have recently retired from working sheep and am absolutely loving this new lifestyle, lots of napping and chilling out suits me just fine.
Although I am quite big for a typical Kelpie, I am actually a massive softie and a bit of a wimp. After living much of my life on a farm, I have found all the sights and sounds of suburban life a little overwhelming but have been slowly gaining confidence in new situations. While I love going on an adventure, I am also very content pottering around and being involved in whatever my foster family is doing - or “overseeing” your activities with my eyes closed! Since coming into foster care, I have learned how to “sit” and now happily go into my crate, where I sleep all night without a peep. I am also toilet trained.
My ideal new family will spend lots of time with me, provide me with lots of love and be available for almost constant pats please! I would make an incredible companion dog, and will repay your love and attention with lots of licks. I still enjoy a run and play, so might be happy helping on a hobby farm or similar, but a generally slow life is what I am seeking. I have been calm and very friendly with kids (both young and old). I am not particularly social with other dogs, so would probably prefer being a solo dog, although I have been happily living with an older Kelpie girl and a crazy young pup.
If I sound like the sorta boy who would suit you and your lifestyle, then please apply. I will just have a nap and enjoy some pats while I wait!

Rex is located VIC.
Adoption details
To apply to adopt a dog from Dogs4Jobs, you must firstly complete our adoptions application form in full at http://dogs4jobs.com.au/adoption-form/.
You can also write out your answers and email them to dogs@dogs4jobs.com.au
*Please note, due to the high volume of applications received, we will not respond to Petrescue chat messages, or enquiries to adopt a dog. You must complete our adoptions form to be considered for the dog or pup, and we will respond to this form via our email.
We will then request to complete a yard check, or for you to send in photos of your yard showing the fencing, space, shelter and any hazards etc, to confirm it is safe and secure, as well as adequate space for a working breed dog.
Following this, we will then put you in touch with the dog/s foster carer/s that you are interested in, to chat further over the phone, about whether the dog is a good fit for your family, and vice versa. We are searching for the perfect match for each dog and their needs. A meet and greet can be arranged if both parties wish to proceed, and we also offer interstate adoption on all of our dogs.
