Dexter

My story

This little guy has been through so much and deserves a home where he can feel safe and loved! When Dexter joined the rescue five months ago, he needed extensive medical care—including the removal of his damaged right eye, a dental, and a neuter. Once he recovered, he underwent surgery to repair his left leg, followed by another procedure eight weeks later to fix his right leg. Now that he’s feeling much better, Dexter enjoys a more relaxed lifestyle and prefers to do his own thing—often lounging comfortably in his playpen. Dexter is a bit "spicy" so his new owner will need to take it slow with him and let him adjust to his new environment. Dexter is a 10-year-old, 8 lb Yorkie mix who would thrive in a calm environment with no young children (under 15) or energetic dogs. While he’s not a fan of kennels, he travels perfectly in a carrier. Due to his time on the streets, he occasionally has a marking habit, so we recommend using a belly band initially. If you’re ready to give Dexter the loving, peaceful home he deserves, please submit an application at www.rescuerowinc.org. *Please check your junk email folder if you do not receive a response from a Rescue Row member within 48 hours. *You must live within an hour of the DFW Metroplex because we do trial adoptions and require a homecheck *Our adoption fees are as follows (paid by cash or a check made out to Rescue Row): Dogs 12 weeks-6 months old: $300 adoption fee  Dogs 7 months and older: $275 adoption fee  Rescue Row is a 501(c)3 (non-profit) all volunteer dog rescue organization serving the DFW Metroplex. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs in shelters, dogs in abusive or neglectful situations, and dogs surrendered by their owners because of difficult circumstances. We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process, which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives. Dogs in our care are spayed or neutered, microchipped, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. Dogs in the greatest need take priority. Finally, we strive to work with shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless dogs. ##2219852##
