Hi, I’m Tex

**Meet Tex: Your Future Best Buddy!**

Are you ready to open your heart and home to a loyal companion? Meet Tex, a lovable boy looking for a patient and understanding family to call his own.

Tex is a gentle soul who may be a bit wary of strangers, especially men, but don't let that fool you-he's making wonderful progress in gaining confidence. With positive and slow interactions, Tex learns to trust and bond, and once he does, you'll find that he sticks by your side, becoming your forever buddy.

**About Tex:**

Tex needs a calm and nurturing household. Sudden movements or loud noises can startle him, so he would do best in a home without small children or a home that can offer a peaceful environment where he has the space to relax (think cozy crates or dog runs!).

Having spent most of his life living in a backyard, Tex is eager to explore and discover new things! This means that socialisation with sights, sounds, people, and places will be an exciting adventure for him-but it should be approached positively and gently to avoid overwhelming him.

As he transitions into his new home, it's essential to go at Tex's pace. He may need some time to adjust, and toilet training could take a little longer than usual. A routine filled with predictability, consistency, patience, and, of course, lots of love will be crucial in helping Tex settle in comfortably.

Tex might thrive with a companion dog by his side, as it can provide him with additional confidence. However, please be aware of his background in a large group-he may show signs of resource guarding. To ensure a harmonious environment, separate feeding areas are strongly advised.

**What Tex Needs:**

- **Secure fencing:** A safe space to explore and play.
- **High-quality diet:** Essential to maintain his health and energy.
- **Engaging toys:** Tex needs mental and physical enrichment, so think bones, long-lasting chews, and frozen Kongs to keep him busy and happy.

If you're ready to provide Tex with the love, patience, and understanding he deserves, he'll reward you with a bond that is truly special. Tex is waiting for his perfect match-could it be you? Let's give Tex the forever home he's been dreaming of!
