Dexter was loved his whole life but unfortunately his elderly owner could no longer care for him. He is loving, gentle, and quiet and would be a wonderful companion for someone who is retired or works from home and wants a buddy to hang out with. <br/><br/>Dexter loves to nap and EAT and enjoys meandering around the yard sniffing all the smells. In his former home he didn’t have a yard so he is accustomed to going for walks. He lived with another small breed dog in his former home and currently in his foster home and doesn’t have much interest in them. He very much prefers his human but he is pretty independent as well. He is just an all-around easy going guy that is just happy to have a soft bed and yummy food with some pets and loving in between.<br/><br/>Dexter is not a fussy eater but his tummy was a bit of figuring out. He landed on a basic kibble and has been regular since. He was brought UTD, HW negative, had a dental and cherry eye removal (it won’t come back), full blood work and xrays, he is neutered, and he is housebroken for outside but he will use potty pads if available. <br/><br/>He is a loving little guy that deserves his special person(s). If you are a good fit for Dexter please fill out our adoption application (link below) and read our process (below and on our website).<br/><br/>Please note we do not reply to all applications we receive, unfortunately we do not have the bandwidth to do so at this time. We only reply if we would like to move forward with your application and we will get in touch relatively quickly so please watch your email and answer your phone. Thank you very much in advance for your understanding!!<br/><br/>His adoption donation is $450. <br/>(our rehab investment as of 1/15/26 is $1,429)<br/><br/>TO BE CONSIDERED, PLEASE FILL OUT OUR ADOPTION APPLICATION<br/>We only process complete applications and providing false information immediately disqualifies you from adopting. <br/>Adoption process: https://gingerbreaddogs.org/adopt-overview/ <br/>Adoption application: https://gingerbreaddogs.org/adopt-overview/adoption-application/ <br/><br/>Please follow our Facebook page to see new dogs as they arrive and to keep up on the daily shenanigans: <br/>https://www.facebook.com/gingerbreaddogs <br/><br/>ABOUT OUR PROCESS:<br/>WE ONLY CONTACT APPLICANTS WITH WHOM WE WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. We typically get in touch within 24-48 hours, but it may take up to 10 days. Please watch your email and answer your phone (from 201 area code) after you submit an application. Unfortunately, we do not have the manpower to reply to all applicants. <br/><br/>We also do not have the manpower to accept phone calls. Everything we know about the dog is posted above. Our adoption process is on our website. You can see more about our daily operations on our Facebook page. <br/><br/>PLEASE call your vet office right now and give them permission to speak with rescues if you are applying to adopt from any rescue. Ask them to mark your file. If they will not speak with us, we will move on to the next application and you will not be considered. <br/><br/>OUT-OF-AREA ADOPTIONS<br/>We consider out-of-area adoptions on a case-by-case basis. All meet & greets and adoptions are held in north New Jersey, and we do not transport our pups. You must come to NJ. We also do not “hold” dogs. It is “first qualified, first come” and our expectation is you will move quickly to conduct the meet & greet if you are approved. <br/><br/>An approved application does not guarantee adoption of any dog from our rescue, and we reserve the right to deny adoption at any point during the process.
