While little is known about Rexs origins, these facts are clear: he was found as a pup in California, malnourished and missing huge portions of his hair. His condition was dire; veterinarians felt that his wounds were self-inflicted, the result of intense skin irritation. Following his diagnosis, Rex was taken to a high-kill shelter where it was feared he was too far gone, that no one would want a dog that looked like him. But thats not where Rexs story ends. Our Big and Small family brought this little guy to Vancouver and it was at an adoption meet-and-greet that Rex was introduced to his soon-to-be-family. Chelsea and Ivan recall the event being overrun with adorable puppies, but it was Rex who grabbed their attention. He was off in a corner with his head down. And he was missing so much hair. Chelsea and Ivan were told that, next to the other dogs, Rexs chances for adoption were slim. A week later, he was home. Rexs story is important — not simply because of his incredible good fortune, but as a reminder that sometimes those in greatest need are often overlooked. And while Rex may have appeared undesirable to some, his new family has shown that love, patience, kindness and acceptance are everything. The result? His physical transformation is dramatic, for sure, but to Chelsea and Ivan, hes the same amazing little creature they spotted months ago, alone in a corner. Its just that now Rex can hold his head high.
