ssed away. And as if that heartache wasn't enough, he was left to fend for himself for a while. Thankfully, a very caring couple helped save him by getting him to a shelter. He spent a long two months in a shelter until Dogs Are Deserving heard about him and came for him. Despite his sad start, Dexter is a happy boy and is eager to meet new people and other dogs. He is a large pup and full of excited energy. He needs a home with a 4-6 feet high fence so that he can race around and burn off some of his extra energy. He also needs someone who likes to play fetch, and who will take him on long slow walks. He takes his time on walks, sniffing and taking it all in. It's best to do slow intros with Dexter. He's a lot of happy, thankful dog and may be too much for those not understanding dogs. And he's not much of a cat dog...so he is better suited to a cat-less home. Dexter is house-broken and knows "sit", "stay", "give paw" and is working on "down". He is eager to please and ready to learn. He likes to have a treat reward for a job well done and takes treats gently. He does not like being crated. Instead he'd rather settle in and snuggle up with you. His dogwalker is a big fan too... "Dexter is such a fun-loving, happy-go-lucky dog! He is full of life and radiates pure joy!" Dexter has impressed his dogwalker with how much he loves his walks and romps in the yard with his tennis ball or rope toy...not to mention his tremendous focus and willingness to learn. Proof? He's mastered the eat-the-treat-on-my-nose flip and catch, in one short lesson! Dexter thrives on positivity and affection. He loves to be praised and in return, he will shower you with kisses! "This big goof has so much love to give and will quickly steal your heart!" He has so much love to give and deserves a home filled with active people who will appreciate his enthusiasm.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
