My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dexter is absolutely adorable Shepard mix. He is very smart, as he has learned sit and shake his paw for a treat, and he seems interested to learn more, as he wants to please. He is a high energy pup, so an active adopter/adoptive family is a plus. He is good with kids, but may play a little too rough for toddlers at his current age and puppy stage. He is crate trained, has spent up to 8 hours in a crate and does very well. He is still working on house training but has come a long way.

He does great around other dogs, initiates play and backs off when his foster siblings let him know they've had enough. He is a clumsy, lumbering puppy and is a laugh a minute!

Dexter is a male, neutered Shepherd mix with an estimated DOB of July 2016.

AS WITH ALL YOUNG PUPS, this puppy will need constant supervision when not crated. Puppies will chew and get into trouble as any puppy would. A puppy needs a leader and someone to teach the basics of house training, obedience, and behavior. At the ages of 10-16 weeks, puppies tend to tire easily and take lots of naps. As they get older, they will need more exercise (walks, hikes, playing fetch, etc) to expend their energy and to be happy and healthy.

Don't get us wrong, we love puppies! However, we also want those interested in adopting a wee canine to make a thoughtful decision, be realistic in behavior expectations, and be prepared to provide proper and kind leadership.

For more information on our adoption process, please visit our website at www.youluckydogrescue.org and read our Adoption FAQ's and Before You Adopt documents. In addition you can complete an online adoption application from our website. You can also email info@youluckydogrescue.org for additional details.

Our adoption fee is $300 and includes all age appropriate vaccines, spay or neuter and microchipping. The breed and age included in this listing is based upon the opinion of a vet that has examined the dog. We cannot confirm the age of the dog unless the dog was born in the care of the rescue. We are located in the metro Atlanta area. We currently do not allow out of state adoptions as a home check is required as part of the adoption process.
