Meet TEX

Meet Tex! Tex is a handsome 7-year-old neutered male Rhodesian Ridgeback who came to the shelter through no fault of his own. He arrived with his best friend, Brownie, a 7-year-old female Rhodesian Ridgeback, after an unfortunate change in their family life left them needing a new home. These two have spent their lives together and have been each other’s constant through a lot of recent upheaval. While Tex and Brownie do not have to be adopted together, they would truly love the chance to stay together, as all they’ve known is one another. Tex is a nice, gentle boy who would thrive in a loving, stable home—whether that’s alongside Brownie or on his own with the right family. If you’re looking to give a deserving dog (or two!) a fresh start, Tex is ready to begin his next chapter. Email advocatssbcas@gmail.com, and we woul dbe happy to tell you more
