Rex, a quirky Pekingese mix, is one of hundreds of 'ambassadogs' for Saving Senior Dogs Week, which shines a light on the joys of adopting senior pets.
Maria Buck has a hard time understanding how anyone could dump their pet on the streets. But that’s exactly what happened to her dog, Rex, before she adopted him.
Instead, the people admitted to purposely abandoning Rex because he was “too old” — and they didn’t want him back.At age 14, Rex's former owners turned him loose on the streets of New York because he was "too old."He found it on Sept. 1 when Buck fell in love with him after seeing photos of his quirky face — he has just one top tooth and a severe underbite, as well as one floppy ear — and hearing his story.
His distinctive looks attract a lot of attention, and Rex delights in greeting his admirers. Buck lets him walk for as long — and as slowly — as he likes. “Every ounce of love you give them, you get back tenfold,” she said. “Knowing you’re making an impact in a senior’s last years is just an incredible privilege.”
