Hi, my name is "DEXTER" and I have all the patience in the world. I'm puppy #9 and I didn't mind waiting until all my brother's and sister were born before my special arrival. I am the runt of the litter so I don't expect to be very big but I make up for my size with my smarts! I am really great at potty training and use the puppy pads, and I am kennel trained. I love to cuddle and give kisses and it would be great if I had another puppy to play with in my new home. Although I am small, I like to hang with the big dogs in the house.I am learning my manners, basic commands and gentleness. Great with children and other dogs. Eager to please! (Clean bill of health per the vets at Washington Heights Vet. Clinic. Rabies vaccinated, and already started on Heartgurad and Frontline.)
Please contact app@aarfhouston.org for more information about this dog. You can apply online by clicking on Application. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet and greet at one of our adoption events. Thank you for considering a rescue!

Puppies cannot be adopted outside of the Houston area until they are spay/neutered after they are 4 months old.
It is against the law 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.
