ENERGY COMING AT YOU So, be prepared for energy, says Solowey. “Puppies have a lot of energy and you just need to be up for that. If there a certain age point, they need a lot of attention, need to make sure that they’re doing well, that you’re training them,” he said. “They want to play with things. A lot of puppies may want to chew on things or tear things up or they’re teething, so you need to have the right stimulation, you want to have certain toys, you want to have ways to focus their attention on other things.” Recommended video Solowey says Rex would do well in a home with another “calm, well socialized,” adult dog or “with opportunities for regular play sessions with a few familiar dog friends who are a good match for his energy level and play style. He would do best learning from confident, gentle dogs who can show him the ropes and help him burn off puppy energy safely. Dog parks aren’t the right fit for him at this stage.” A house without small children or cats would also be preferable. “I would avoid that for now,” said Solowey. “Certain dogs would be a good fit as well as older children” and ‘if someone lives in the suburbs or is closer to nature that might be better.” Anyone interested in adopting Rex can visit torontohumanesociety.com to start the adoption process. —UPDATED: Bonded female cats Duff and Parker, from September’s Forever Friend column, were adopted.
