My story

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

Foster or Adopter wanted! This sweetie is STILL available. We don't know how?! This boy has a sparkly personality and loves cats and kids and has a long list of his favorite things.....Please apply at www.pawswapofgreaterlafayette.com/adopting. 



 



Dexter is the most amazing, 4-5 year old, chonky Boxer mix with a nubby tail. He's friendly, happy and can no longer stay in his home due to quarrels with another dog. They tried professional training to no avail. We are seeking a household where Dexter will be the only dog living there, although he can be friendly with other dogs. He seems to prefer to have his family all to himself on an ongoing basis.



 



Dexter is house trained and crate trained. He doesn't love being in a crate, but does tolerate it. If left out for long periods, he will have occasional accidents, but is not destructive. Dexter would preferably have a physically fenced yard. He does walk nicely on leash.



 



Dexter's list of loves: Cuddling and being right next to his people (especially on their bed in night). Favorite toy; the Otter. Raccoon is a close second. He loves to watch Scooby Doo when left alone. Greenies specifically the blueberry flavored ones. Dexter lives for belly rubs and likes to show his people things around the house by gently taking their hand and leading them. Warm jackets and harnesses during a walk (but they must come off once back in the house.)



 



Dexter is neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and microchipped. He will also come with many of his things including his toys, bed, bowls, leash, collar, and harness. If interested in Dexter, his adoption fee is $100. If interested, please complete an application on our website at www.pawswapofgreaterlafayette.com/adopting. One application works for all of our dogs.

More about this rescue

We are a rescue/ rhoming service that provides education and assistance for owners in our community to keep pets in their home. When that is not an option or we come across animals in need, we will take them into our foster-based program, work with them, seek all necessary vetting, and find them the perfect home.
