VT Dog Rescue

VT Dog Rescue is a non-profit canine rescue focused on saving the Underdog. The sweet dogs who are passed over day after day simply because they are not perfect. Who is an underdog?- older dogs who are wise and love to snuggle- tri-pawed dogs who are happily enjoying life with 3 legs- shy dogs who need a little extra love to help them build confidence - dogs who may limp or have a physical limitation that humans see as a flaw, but they accept with dignity - dogs who are missing an eye and have adapted to navigate their world The Underdogs have, against all odds, retained their ability to be loyal and trusting companions who love us unconditionally. We believe the Underdogs, just like other shelter dogs, deserve to be rescued and placed in loving, responsible homes where they can shine.

Meet Rex

Meet Rex! Rex is searching for a new home - no fault of his own.  His current owners are in poor health and looking to move into assisted living. He needs help quickly.  Rex would do best in a home with another dog and/or cat, as he’s used to living with other animals. Young children would be too energetic for Rex, but we think he could do well with older, gentle children.    Rex is 6 yrs old and is guessed to be a Shepard/Husky mix.  Rex is a shy and gentle guy who appreciates having time to warm up to new people and situations.  His sweet nature shines through once he’s comfortable.  Rex is highly food motivated which makes training easier. If you have treats, you are an immediate friend.  He knows “sit”, “paw” and “gentle”.  Rex has mostly been in a fenced area, so will need support and training with his leash walking.   Rex will be neutered prior to going to his new home.   Rex has lived a quiet life so still gets a little nervous in unfamiliar environments or with new people.  He's best introduced slowly and given time to adjust at his own speed.  Rex is not aggressive; he is a sensitive boy and is unsure of himself. He’s still figuring out how to navigate the outside world. He can jump when excited, but with the right training, he'll quickly learn to keep all four paws on the ground!   Rex is ready to bond with a new family who can support him through his journey of becoming the confident, happy pup we know he can be!
