Dexter #453's Story

Hi, my name is Dexter. I&#39;m a happy-go-lucky guy who got dealt a bad hand in life, but I am not letting that get me down. I live life to my fullest despite my mobility issues!<br/><br/>I&#39;m a seven year-old bundle of energy and joy. I&#39;m a Maltese-poodle mix (who looks an awful lot like a Bichon, in my auntie&#39;s opinion!) I was born with a neurological disorder that affects my equilibrium and my ability to walk--but I don&#39;t let that get me down! I&#39;m too smart for that...nothing stops me. BROC has equipped me with the latest and greatest doggie wheels, of course, and I&#39;m a champion driver--but even without wheels I can scramble around the yard to chase my foster brother - as well as any other dog. My technique might not win awards, but I don&#39;t care! I get to where I want to go, with or without wheels.<br/><br/>Speaking of &#34;go&#34;...I am fully housebroken. All I need is someone to take me to the &#34;potty place&#34; a few times a day (same as any other dog), and that is one of the reasons I need a special person. You see, I can&#39;t get to the yard on my own, and it isn&#39;t safe for me to be alone out there anyway. My special person also would need to ensure my safety in the home. Being that I&#39;m not so graceful, my person needs to make sure the home is safe - without things that could harm me if I were to, let&#39;s say, meet them head-on at cruising speed. My current foster mom created a large, enclosed &#34;Dexter Den&#34; for me, complete with a big bed, my favorite toys, water of course, and plenty of space to move around. I stay in my den when my foster mom needs to leave the house. When she&#39;s home, I just hang out in my den or roam around.<br/><br/>The bottom line is this: Apart from my neurological condition, I am a very normal, healthy dog who is full of joy and very loving. Everyone I meet falls in love with me, because I know how to put on the charm! I don&#39;t require a lot of work, but I do need special help and attention...thus it takes a special person. If you have room in your heart and home for delightful me, please complete an adoption application. https://bichonrescueoc.org/adoption-applicationk<br/><br/> Please visit our website www.bichonrescueoc.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.
