DEX

Original story: Dex is a 20-mo old male and we aren't sure if he's a vizsla or vizsla/pointer cross. We are sure he is an active, handsome dog looking for an owner willing to help him reach his full potential. He needs continued work on his leash skills and will respond well to firm, fair training. Dex is in foster care with both male and females vizslas, manageable with cats, learning about stairs, getting aquainted with comfy furniture and adapting very well to life as a house dog and family member and looking for a home where he can continue to employ his newly learned skills. Dex appears to have some hunt potential but he must be a family member first and hunter second. He was turned into the shelter two days before Christmas for barking when left in the yard but apparently he just wanted to be part of the family because his foster home has had no problems with excessive barking. Dex was returned to rescue when the landlord decided he was no longer welcome. Please ensure that your living situation is appropriate before considering adoption as dogs like Dex need and deserve a forever home.

August 2007: Michelle reports Dex is adjusting well to city life. They were in the process of moving when they adopted Dex so he got to help with the moving and now is making the most of summer with lots of hiking and running. Things were a little dicey at first with the pet birds but Dex has learned to co-exist with them and for that has earned his own blankie on the bed so he is a true member of the pack now! Thanks for giving our handsome Dex a loving home in the big city.
