Terrier [Mix]

Dexter is a male Terrier mix who weighs about 25 lbs. He was located in an area Animal Control Facility when we spied his irresistible fuzzy wuzzy good looks.

Dexter is somewhat shy and laid back. He does not yet know how to walk on a leash, but he was happy to hang out with the photographer to get his pictures taken!

Dexter is a young adult, probably not over 18 months old. He will be neutered and fully vaccinated this week, as well as tested for heartworm and other parasites.

Dexter gets along with all the other dogs in his foster home. He would love a family with a flexible schedule to take him on walks and play fetch and heap lots of love on him.

Dexter's adoption fee is $150 UNLESS his heartworm test is positive. We will keep this bio UPDATED as soon as the test results are in!

AN ADOPTION FEE IS REQUIRED FOR DEXTER.

We adopt dogs from Memphis Animal Shelter when we can. The shelter has an 83% euthanasia rate, one of the highest in the country. Unfortunately, any dog coming from Memphis Animal Shelter, and most other shelters for that matter, will have been in contact with contagious illness. Even though the dogs have been in foster care and appear to be in good health, they may become stressed when changing environments and exhibit signs and symptoms of illness. If you have other pets, they need to be up to date on vaccines before bringing a shelter dog into your home. We will take the adopted animal back, but we are not responsible for your other animal's vet care. We always disclose where the dogs have come from. Please ask for any information about the dogs and exercise due caution if you have immunocompromised animals.
