I hear a lot of complaints about the rainy season, but I kind of like it.  The streets are a little bit quieter during neighborhood walks, and it’s a good time to be reflective and think about the pretty, warm days to come.  My name is Rex, and I am a thoughtful  and intelligent 40 lb  Lab mix  with a gentle soul.  New experiences make me a bit nervous at first  –  you could say I’m an introvert – and I will  need a patient family who will give me plenty of treats and TLC. I’m a youngster at only 1 year old, so I need puppy classes to further my socialization and education – I’m hoping to be a philosopher one day! I’m a bit scared of other dogs and cats, so one on one meets are best for me (no dogs parks please)!  Since I do need so much training, I’ll be best in a family with older kids so I can get the focus that I need.  Are you willing to give a boy  like me a try?  I promise to be your devoted, loving sweetheart!  Fill out the adoption application so we can schedule a meet and greet. I am fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped.  My adoption fee is $250.
