My story

　　Say Hello to Dexter!!! Dexter is a beautiful, five year old, pure breed, neutered roan Britt and so very sweet. He craves affection but is cautious and will need someone to be patient and persistent in gaining his trust. He gave his foster family side eye and retreated for the first two weeks upon arriving. Due to this and his previous history of anxiety, Dexter’s foster mom placed him on an anti-anxiety medication recommended by a veterinarian. This has really helped Dexter to come out of his shell and start living his best life. The ideal forever home will continue these medications and continue to help him adjust and come out of his shell. His previous owners loved Dexter very much and took great care of him. Unfortunately, Dexter felt uncomfortable around the new baby. They made a extremely difficult decision to surrender him as to give Dexter his best life.

　　Dexter’s foster mom works from home, so he spends his days either at the feet of her desk, guarding the house from critters at the front window, or romping in the back yard with his two 3-year-old Brittany foster siblings. Dexter absolutely loves car rides, walks, and going to the dog park. He likes to go everywhere and is a dream in the car. An the ideal forever home, Dexter’s humans will be at home more than they are gone. Dexter will not do well being alone for 8 hours per day.

　　Dexter would do best in a house without small children (they make him nervous). He has shown no interest and ignores his 12-year-old human foster brother. Although Dexter has done well with both of his older foster siblings, he does not care for his foster dog brother who is a loud and aggressive cuddler. His foster dog brother can be obnoxious, lol. Dexter has shown no aggression to other dogs or children.

　　Dexter would also do best with a fenced yard. One of his favorite things is to hang in the back yard. He plays really well with his female foster sister and can often be found in a chase around the yard. He also likes to just hang out and watch for critters. He’d honestly probably hang out longer if his foster mom would let him, but she’s worried it’s too cold.

　　Dexter was loved and taken care of him his previous home. He is neutered, up to date on all vaccinations and has no physical health issues. He will need to continue his anxiety medications.

You can also reach out to the MN State Coordinator, Hallie Barbara at [email protected] for more information after you have filled out the application. The adoption fee to adopt Dexter is $350 to offset his vetting and to allow NBRAN to rescue more of these wonderful pets in need.

　　Transportation can be arranged up 1400 miles with the adopter being responsible for at least the last 100 miles.

　　If you have any questions or would like to adopt MN/Dexter, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
