Dexter - in Maine
*FOSTER or FURever home needed*
Posted January 2025
This handsome boy is returning to the rescue due to a changing family situation and Dexter is not doing well with children and strangers coming and going often. He needs a unique and wonderful family to support this transition for him. He is 3 yrs old and is a beautiful mixed breed dog, definitely some hound in there! He is approximately 65 lbs.
Dexter LOVES car rides, and sits in the seat like a human. He likes to take walks but needs a little fine turning of leash manners.
Dexter is an escape artist with crates and has learned to do OK without one as long as the area is well puppy-proofed. Meeting new people or dogs is a little stressful for Dexter so he needs a good proper intro so he can warm up to new friends. He loves the family’s guinea pigs though! He has played the best with older dogs, and is skittish around puppies or “in your face” dogs. Dog parks will definitely not be safe for him and he hasn’t been able to stay at a day care due to his aversion to crates.
Dexter would be best in a home without children as he has become more territorial as an adult, and needs more training than his current family is able to provide. The rescue is going to work with a trainer to identify good strategies for a new family.
Dexter has a fenced yard at his home and he is a champion snuggler. He would do well in a family with a regular routine without a lot of new people coming and going, or with a very good management system at the door.

If you are interested in meeting Dexter or any of our cuties, please fill out the adoption application. If interested in fostering Dexter or any of our dogs, please email us at luckypuprescue@yahoo.com
Please note: we do not have a physical facility where the dogs are housed; they are cared for in our wonderful foster network, and it is our expectation that, once approved, a potential adopter and their family will meet the dog(s) in the foster setting where they are feeling safe and loved.
