23-018 Rex  is a 1 & 1⁄2 -year-old unneutered Goldendoodle male who was surrendered when his owner moved in with her sister who had 3 large dogs that didn’t get along with  Rex .  Rex  is a large boy who is loving and sweet and was placed with a FWITA, but his lack of training and his hyperactivity simply wasn't the best fit for either the family or for  Rex .  Rex  was soon matched with his forever home with an adoptive couple  in Peoria. They had lost their dog a year ago and were excited to have a new companion. These are experienced dog owners who are committed to his adjustment and training. Shortly after arriving, his new owner said: 

He’s really doing well and, wonder  of wonders, is starting to get some commands/requests figured  out... He’s pretty smart and no problems so far... He’s a scamp but sweet. He’s walking well with a Sidekick leash. He’s doing just  fine and is an absolute rascal. He can get quite insistent when it’s  time to “throw the ball”.
