You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Dexter! Say hello to Dexter, a lovable mixed Maltese male with a heart as big as his personality! Born around April 16, 2024, Dexter weighs in at a cuddly 17.1 pounds and is ready to find his forever home. Dexter’s journey started off rough—he was living on the streets until a kind-hearted Good Samaritan stepped in and gave him a second chance. Despite his tough beginnings, Dexter is incredibly friendly and full of joy. He gets along great with other dogs and charms everyone he meets with his funny, goofy personality. This little guy lives for attention and isn’t shy about stealing the spotlight! He is young and does have some mischievous behaviors that will need someone who has time to train him. Most of the issues can be solved through crate training.  If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will keep you laughing and love you endlessly, Dexter is your guy. His adoption fee is $350, and you can apply for him at www.adoggie4you.org. Dexter is ready to bring joy to your life—are you ready to meet him? This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 13, 2025, 5:35 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Willie male 4 years Maltipoo neutered 13.90 pounds  Meet Willie.  Fresh off an engagement at a packed venue (hoarding case!), this Good Boy is primed to entertain his new best forever friend which could be you.  Willie is a sleek fourteen pound, 4 year old Multi-Poo up-to-date on his vaccines and ready to find a forever home.  He gets along with other dogs and is fine with children.  His tolerance of cats is not known.   His naturally curly hair does not shed and he keeps himself well groomed.  He is house broken and is respectful of his environment.  He has not been observed marking his territory and does not bark except to alarm.  Willie is learning to walk on a leash; he sleeps all night on his own bed and is very affectionate.  Coming from a hoarding house, he is hungry for attention and attentive to his hunger so that little comes between him and his friend or food dish.   Although he will travel in a crate or spend a short time-out in one, he does not tolerate captivity except for over night while sleeping.  He is an escape artist; a real Hairy Houdini but is only trying to re-unite with his BFF.  While he does not beg at the table his table gymnastics are excellent and he will occupy a table left alone.     Willie is a loving little dog with a free spirit and would do well with open spaces and plenty of attention.  He is just a happy with a brisk walk or a nap on the couch as long as he is with his friend.Adoption Fee $350Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 16, 2025, 5:02 pm
