Happy Tails
"We adopted Rex, formerly Tierod, into our pack on a whim two years ago in June. After seeing his photo and profile, we knew we couldn't live without him. Rex has transformed into the sweetest, goofiest boy since bringing him home. He enjoys his daily walks, trotting around the house with his Lamb Chops, sunbathing on the patio, day trips to fun spots, and, of course - naps. We are grateful to have found this family member and look forward to many bright days ahead."
