Dexter and 2 siblings were turned in to us so we could find them a home. Their mom was a Chihuahua and dad was a Dachshund. Their est dob is the middle of February 2011. Dexter knows how to use a doggy door to go outside to potty. He is also puppy pad trained. He does well in a crate but would rather be sitting in your lap. He runs outside and plays with the other dogs in his foster home. He picks up a ball or squeaky toy and runs so they will chase him then he will run under something so they can't catch him. If someone doesn't want to play, he jumps in the air like a rabbit while circling them trying to get them excited. Please contact Vicky at AARF@Embarqmail.com for more information about this puppy or to schedule a meet and greet.

The adoption fee is $200 which includes vet check, vaccinations, Bordetella, de-worming, rabies, spay/neuter and microchip. There is a $10.99 fee to Home Again for a lifetime registration of the microchip. The rabies and spay/neuter will be done at the same time by our vet once they are 4 months old and billed to us.

There is a $50 deposit on all puppies that have not been fixed yet. Once you provide us with proof of spay/neuter and rabies, you will receive your deposit back or we can send you a receipt to deduct from your taxes as a donation. It is a Class C Misdemeanor in the State of Texas for a rescue not to be sterilized so we have to make sure it gets completed and that we have record of it.
