Story
Rose is a sweet 9 yr old Havanese Shih Tzu mix. Her previous family used this pretty girl to make puppies for extra cash. When her owner died, she eventually ended up living in a mechanic shop! When we found out about their situation, we immediately sent a volunteer to go and rescue them. Rose is with Rufus, who is possibly her son. Both dogs are very sweet, well behaved and affectionate. Both Rose and Rufus are friendly, and get along well with new people, other dogs and children. Rufus is about 3 yrs old, very sweet, loving and mellow. He gets along well with other dogs, cats and kids. We had him examined by our vet, neutered, fully vaccinated and microchipped. Rose is loving senior, about 9 yrs old, and is possibly Rufus' mother. Rose is a Havanese/ Shih Tzu mix. She is healthy, and we have had her spayed, vaccinated and microchipped. Rose gets along well with other dogs and children, but is very interested in cats, so should go to a home that is cat free. Rose has some previously untreated skin issues, but is otherwise healthy. Both dogs are small, well behaved and extremely loving. They are easy going and don't have any destructive habits like digging, barking or chewing. They are content to just be around someone. They grew up as part of a family and will easily fit into any home. They are low energy and would be perfect for a retired person or someone who works from home. We're looking for an foster or adopter in the Southern California area. Please complete our adoption application found on dexterfoundation.com If you cannot foster or adopt, can you share their story? We need a foster home asap!

Click Here to Sponsor Me!  Adoption APPLICATION: Muttsinneed.org/adoption-application   ** Application must be completed prior to a meet & greet.                                   Our Adoption Process:Muttsinneed.org/adoption-process   Welly (short for Beef Wellington) is every bit as classic and high-quality as his name suggests. At 9 years young and a portable 16lbs, this 'forever young' gentleman consistently fools people into thinking he’s still a young man with his energetic spirit and dapper looks.   Because he thrives on consistency and gentle affection, he’d be happiest in a home with adults or older children who can appreciate his refined personality.   Welly is currently on a specialized gourmet diet to manage 'crystalluria.' While the name sounds a bit fancy, it simply means his body needs a specific balance of nutrients to keep his bladder health in tip-top shape. The Good News: It is a very manageable condition! By simply sticking to his tasty prescription food, his system stays clear and he stays happy. It’s a small, easy adjustment that ensures he feels his absolute best every day.   Apply to meet Welly at https://www.muttsinneed.org/adoption-application.html January 24, 2026, 12:14 am
