There is so much to say about this cool and crazy Freenie Dog!  Dexter has a really high energy level with a really high prey drive to match. He loves to bird or squirrel watch while outside. He the highest bouncing dog his foster family has ever been around and his foster mom says she wouldn’t be surprised if he could actually get on countertops without help. 
Dexter loves to cuddle, but he sometimes can forget that he should trust you as his human. We are not sure what he’s been through before finding his way to LBR, but his foster. I’ve worked very hard to earn his trust. 
Wait..... I forgot to mention the coat on this baby so perfection. 
While in foster care, all our dogs are thoroughly vetted.  Any discovered medical issues will be disclosed above.  Our Lucky Bulldogs (and their smushie-faced buddies) are cleared by their vet for adoption prior to us accepting applications.  All our dogs will be up to date on Rabies & DHPP vaccinations, up to date on Heartworm preventative after a negative Heartworm test, and spayed or neutered prior to being adopted out to their forever homes.  Often times, our dogs are given dentals and sometimes nare-widening surgery if needed while under anesthesia. All surgical and medical history we have will be shared with adopters.  Further details can be discussed with the foster volunteer during the phone interview for the applications that are chosen to proceed to the phone interview part of the adoption process.

All our dogs are crate trained unless otherwise noted on their "All About" pages.
We will accept applications for our available dogs for 1-2 weeks except in cases of overwhelming popularity where we may stop accepting new applicants sooner. Once we have stopped accepting applications, we will review them and proceed with a phone call with our top two applications to chat about the dog being applied for, go over the adoption process, and answer any questions the potential adopter has. After phone calls take place, we will decide on our top applicant choice and proceed to contact them to schedule a home visit (in person or via video chat), and check vet and personal references before the adoption is ready to be completed. This process can take up to 6 weeks.
