My story

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

IF YOU CAN SEE THIS POST, I AM STILL AVAILABLE AND LOOKING FOR MY FOREVER FAMILY

Meet Dex! He's a 5 yr old German Shepherd who weighs 89 lbs. Dex enjoys playing fetch, running alongside the new buddies he’s meeting, and taking long walks. He allows you to groom him all over his body and really loves attention from his handlers!! He is improving his leash skills, and has been working hard with volunteers at the pound. Dex needs a home without cats and will need good secure home since he is quite the Houdini. He does like kids, and due to his happy exuberant nature we think he’d do best with older kids just because of how excited he can be. Dex can be dog selective so he would like to meet any potential dog family members you have to make sure it’s a good fit.

Dex’s right eye was injured during an episode with a porcupine and had to be removed. He is still quite handsome, and looks like he's winking at you! He is being trained to walk on the left side of his handler so he can allow us to be his right eye. Dex may have one eye, but it doesn’t hold him back at all! Let’s help this handsome boy find a loving home. He would love to come to our adoption event on March 3rd in Vancouver if there is someone interested in meeting him! We will be at Gossip in the Grain taproom from 2-4 pm. Dex has been at the pound for 314 days, and he’d really love for a chance to leave the pound! His adoption fee is $75. Could you be his new family? Please apply today! bit.ly/delnorteadoptionevent

This dog is currently in Del Norte Animal Shelter and would be transported to Portland, OR

More about this rescue

We are a group of dedicated dog rescuers united by the fact that our lives have all been touched by the amazing canine rescue work being done in Mexico.

The name Mila's Mutts comes from an amazing dog named Milagros (miracle in Spanish) that has been rescued from Mexico. It was a miracle they made it to the PNW into our loving homes! We have all helped rescue dogs in many different ways, from fostering, escorting, advocating, transporting, you name it. After some discussions, we decided, why not start our own rescue? So, here we are, dedicating ourselves to rescuing dogs with our partner Rossi Hernandez of Hogar Temporal Mejoramigo. She takes them in off the streets, saves them from life threatening conditions, then once they are healed, fixed, and vaccinated, they can fly to the PNW to find forever homes.
