I have a back yard so I don't have to walk Rex every day. Wrong! Being let out in the backyard does not supply Rex with enough exercise. He needs to go on a nice long walk with you (on the leash) where he'll get plenty of exercise and be able to socialize with other dogs and people. If you can positively answer these questions and concerns, then you may be ready to adopt Rex. View Next >
