Dexter's Story

The eyes are the window to the soul we have been told. This boys soul is one of the sweetest. Dexter is a 10 year old Beagle who found himself coming into rescue from a previous owner who did not have time for him and his issue anymore. This loving boy is house broken and will cue to be let outside. He does not need crated and prefers not to be. He loves children and does great with other dogs too! (Cats unknown).<br/><br/>Dexter LOVES food, so much that he is willing to jump on a chair to help himself to your left overs! His dog food and other human food does need to be safely kept out of reach or locked so that he does not find himself in a feast and end up at the vet again!!<br/><br/>Poor Dexter does suffer from chronic severe allergies, so he needs a patient owner that is willing to provide consistent medication and occasional baths. He has been receiving this attention and is much more comfortable than when we first got him.<br/><br/>He would do best in a home where someone is present most of the time, as he suffers from severe separation anxiety. He is what we consider 'speechless' for a hound dog until you leave the house. He does not show destructive behavior but will howl, cry, bark, and excessively pace when you leave him. While you are home you can find him curled up in a blanket, taking a snooze! He is an extremely sweet and gentle boy who wants a loving home with a person to cuddle up next to for his retirement. Are you that person? <br/><br/> <br/><br/> <br/><br/>**The vet said he will probably be allergy ridden and on meds for life. Some may need to be switched in the future .<br/><br/> Dexter averages about $80 of meds every 15 days.... plus he is on prescription shampoo and foam but that lasts awhile.<br/><br/>As part of Dexters adoption his foster mom, who is a groomer, will offer Dexter's new owners an extremely heavily discounted grooming fee if they want to bring him for baths. (It would include bath, nails, and ear cleaning). ****<br/><br/> <br/><br/>Dexter is current on vaccinations, HW negative, neutered, and micro chipped. His adoption fee is $125.00. Dexter is fostered in Omaha, NE.
