Notes from Pawfect Match Rescue

Dexter was rescued from the shelter on a last call alert by Pawfect Match. Maybe his middle name should be Lucky? At the age of 10 he is a mature, well mannered man. But, I believe he has plenty of days of chasing balls and enjoying adventures ahead of him. Dex has been a gentleman with our children, he hasn’t barked at doorbells, knows his name, knows how to sit, and seems to be housebroken. He hasn’t had any interactions with other pets yet, but he seems interested. Dexter is getting better at being kenneled. He does sleep in his kennel at night, and is kenneled when we are not at home. He is a medium sized guy, recently weighing in under 40 pounds. If you are interested in fostering or adopting Dex please contact Pawfect Match. Fostering is free!

************************************************************

The adoption fee is $400, which covers food, vetting, microchip and the spay/neuter surgery performed by a rescue-affiliated vet. All dogs receive a wellness visit and are up to date on shots appropriate for age. Breed and size is Pawfect Match Rescue's best guess and not guaranteed. Please go to https://www.pawfectmatch.org/animals/search? and search on the dog name to see more photos, browse the profile, and complete an application
