About T.Rex
Hello! My name is T.Rex and I’m a 9-year-old pocket am-staff looking for love in my later years.
I’ve been through a bit of a tough time in the last few months where I went to a home that wasn’t safe for me. It’s made me a bit fearful of the world and untrusting.
I have since been in urgent short term foster care with Kodi and Matt they have shown me so much love I've relaxed and made much progress.
In the house, I’m great. I am the perfect gentlemen and toilet trained. I love sleeping in my crate in the day and will do a little dance for my food. You have treats? I will love you forever! I’m working on my separation anxiety and it’s going really well if you keep up my training, I reckon I will be able to be left alone and sleep in my crate while you do your adult errands.
Outside of the house, I walk great on a lead and love a good sniff of things. I love a car ride and will sit perfectly in the back, sometimes observing out the window, sometimes I’ll have a nap in the back (I’m not the one driving after all). I have great recall and like to check in with you on our walks. And don’t even get me started on playing with the ball – my absolute favorite game ever, only second to swimming.
I'm best suited as the only pet in the home although i can happily walk side by side with other calm dogs. I don’t like excited dogs getting in my face (really who does!). In fact, I don’t like anything coming up in my face (including hands) so slow controlled intros to new people are a must. However, once I trust you, you’re my best friend and I will wiggle my butt in happiness every time I see you and show you my playful side. It doesn’t take long to trust – a few treats and I’m yours.
So you see, I am learning that one bad experience doesn’t mean everything is bad. And I’m learning it pretty fast too. If you’re willing to love me, then I’m willing to work on my fears. After everything I’ve been through, I really hope someone takes that chance on me.
T.Rex needs a more a stable home whilst his confidence continues to grow and separation anxiety is managed. If you can give this old guy the love he needs please apply now
