My name is Dexter!

DEXTER NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME!!!!

Come meet Dexter and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (Nov. 17th) from 12-3 pm at the Petsmart in Falls Church (6100 Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)!

Name:  Dexter        Best Guess for Breed:   Husky/shepherd  

Best Guess for Age:    5 years old       SEX:   male

Approximate Weight:   49lbs as of 9/24

Gets Along With:  Other dogs! We have not seen Dexter with kids but he can be tested. Dexter is not recommended for a home with cats due to his breed.

Currently Living at:  SC Rescue Campus

Special adoption considerations: Dexter is a truly Lucky Dog. Although he has tested positive for heartworms, treatment has been scheduled! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment.  We are happy to talk more in depth about heartworm disease and treatment during the screening process. 

Dexter is Looking For:   His forever home! This handsome gentleman needs a new home through no fault of his own. He's eager to once again have his own humans - Huskies are known for being quite attached to their people! Long sniffy walks and world exploration with them is on his wish list, as are a cushy dog bed and quality kibble. But you know what's right at the top of the list? Being safe and loved and under his own roof for all his days. 

We hear he's good with other dogs. He's in his prime as an adult, well out of the puppy yips, and is more than ready to ease into his new humans' home and hearts. In exchange, they get the immense amount of love and loyalty he is storing up for her new family. What do you say? Is that going to be you?

What My Foster Says About Me:   Will update once Dexter has spent time in a foster home.

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
