Please meet Dexter the 6 month old neglected beagle boy! Dexter has spend his entire life at the end of a chain - on the outside of human interaction and companionship. Poor Dexter was just a tiny baby when he was thrown outside on a chain with NO KENNEL to go into on those cold winter days last winter. His only warmth and companion was a stuffed animal - about his very own size. And he cuddled that stuffy - but still was so cold. Finally a wonderful, kind neighbor lady went to Dexter's "owners" home - knocked on the door and DEMANDED that Dexter be given some basic care! Then she went to the store and bought him a dog house. On the REALLY cold days - or when it rained or sleeted - This sweet lady would go get Dexter and bring him to her home. There he found the only love he had ever known. She would play with him, snuggled on the couch with him, take him for walks when she could, she even began housebreaking Dexter. But every evening - no matter what - Dexter went back to his "owners" house to be chained up again. Finally after enough complaints - they started bringing Dexter into the house and locking him in the bathroom when it was horribly cold outside. Remember - Dexter was a small puppy at this time!! Anyway, We have Dexter now - and he is safe and warm and everything a puppy should be. He is being fostered in a loving home where he is being taught all about playtime, and healthy food, and snuggles... his life is good. Dexter is now neutered, UTD on his vaccinations, working hard on house training, he loves kids, other dogs - Dexter LOVES LIFE!! Dexter is looking forward to being adopted - maybe by YOU!!!
Update: Dexter & Montana (5 yr old german shepard) hit it off right away. They were running around the yard and playing within minutes. The new mom & dad were amazed how well Montana was behaving (said she doesn't like people). She was a perfect hostess and showed no signs of agression. We think Dexter is just what she needed. They had a terrier that they had passed and we think she was just sad or depressed. Montana & Dexter were very happy and played the whole time we were there. All were very happy and Dexter is now "Home" :)
Their fenced in yard was set up very nicely with a Large dog house and a doggie door that goes into the garage. Then the door from the garage to the house also has a doggie door. AND, the dogs have their own bedroom with beds and everything including a queen size bed at their disposal. They are planning on using baby gates for the kithen area until Dexter is settled in while they have to be gone.
The new family were very happy that they will have the whole holiday weekend to play with and walk the dogs.
They have a very nice place and the new brother & sister will be very well taken care of.
