My story

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

Dexter is a sweet, affectionate little guy who loves being close to his people. He’s a true cuddle bug who enjoys being held, snuggling on your chest, and following you around like a little shadow—often curling up at your feet while you work. He is a complete teddy bear with the sweetest eyes.



He has a great low/medium-energy balance: happy to run around and play with his toys (he even tosses and catches them himself!) but just as content to relax and snuggle. 



Dexter is still learning and would benefit from a patient home. He’s not a huge fan of the crate but sleeping through the night on his own. Slow, thoughtful introductions with other dogs are important, as he can be fearful of unfamiliar dogs. At home, he’s been doing well with another dog and even enjoys cuddling up against his dog buddy.



Dexter is making great progress with potty training and is healing from a recent neuter. 
Overall, Dexter is a lovable little teddy bear and devoted companion who will thrive in a home that offers patience, guidance, and lots of affection. He will be an incredibly loyal best friend



Dexter is doing great with my dog. He does show some possessiveness over me if my dog approaches him while he is on the couch with me already. I have tried to slowly introduce him to people and other dogs and he had a very tough time (mostly with the other dog and potentially not a fan of men), he seems fearful. My dog and him play together so I think he will be okay in a home with other dogs but may need some time to adjust.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We hold adoption events EVERY SATURDAY. PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE FOR THE LOCATION AND DATES OF OUR NEXT ADOPTION EVENT. www.rmpuppyrescue.org

Thank you for your interest in saving the lives of these beautiful pets through our foster and adoption program.

To all the people that have called and emailed in hopes of meeting a puppy before our event, we hope you can understand, we cannot meet between events. We truly appreciate you wanting to help by adoption but ask that you make our events. We are a foster based rescue, and all of us have full-time jobs. We simply can't arrange one on one meetings with all of our foster families, our puppies and all the people that want to meet them.

Please do not call the locations of our adoption events as they do not have any information on our available dogs and puppies. We match the family energy level and lifestyle to the puppy's energy level. We do have the right of refusal. Please check out our website at www.rmpuppyrescue.org to download our Pre-adoption form and Requirements form, print, fill out and bring in hand to the event. You can also submit your application online at our website.

Here are some other things we require:

- If you rent, YOU MUST BRING A COPY OF YOUR RENTERS/MORTGAGE AGREEMENT TO THE EVENT. We do this to confirm you own your house or if you rent you are allowed to have a pet in your home. NO EXCEPTIONS.We would like to see if there is a weight or breed restriction. No rescues will be adopted to those persons who do not bring a lease or agreement to the event.

- You must show a valid drivers license, and You must be 19 years or older.

-You MAY NOT bring your dog to our event. This is due to the fact that our puppies have immature immune systems.

-Any animals you own MUST be Spayed or Neutered. NO exceptions.

- RMPR adoption fees are $225-600 this includes your microchip, starter puppy food and of course lots of puppy love!

RMPR Does not take checks. We accept, cash, Visa, MC, and Discover. NO AMEX (sorry)

RMPR and its directors have the right to refuse the adoption for any reason. Please see our website www.rmpuppyrescue.org for more details on how to adopt.

We appreciate your interest in our lovely rescues. If you would like to join our Puppy Brigade through volunteering or fostering one of our rescues, we would love to have you. Please visit our website for more details.
