About T-Rex
Despite his intimidating name, T-Rex is a gentle soul with a playful spirit. T-Rex (we call him Rexie) loves to strut his stuff with a cute little butt waggle and is always eager to explore new sights and smells. He’s a pro at sniffing things out and enjoys playing scent games.
A lover of tiny toys (Shhh! Don’t tell him that they’re actually for cats!), Rexie also enjoys playing fetch and is happy to entertain himself by throwing his own toy around.
Due to past undiagnosed pain, Rexie may initially be hesitant about being petted. To help him feel safe, it’s important to pet him only when he asks, because startling reminds him of his painful past. Once he knows you understand his requests for affection, he’ll never stop asking for scritches! We’re happy to show you how to tell if Rexie wants to be petted! Now, if the question is about when he wants to be picked up, that’s an easy answer: never! Rexie really only ever wants to be carried in one situation: to your bed for nighttime zzz’s, with you as his pillow.
Aside from playing with toys and brief walks, Rexie’s favorite activities include trick training for treats and sitting next to you on the couch, watching nature documentaries.
