History:
Dexter was rescued with Champ from Siversk, Ukraine, 16km from the 0 line village of Bilohorivka.
We estimate Dexter is between 5-8 years old, has not yet been sterilized, needs to be quarantined in Kyiv Oblast for 3 months, microchipping and vaccinations along with rabies blood testing to prepare him for International adoption.
Personality:
When we got the call for the dogs we were told “One very big friendly dog (Champ) and one smaller aggressive dog (Dexter)”.
Dexter was likely in survival mode in Siversk, fighting for scrapes of food with the other dogs because he is far from aggressive.
At this time Dexter runs free in the yard with Milton, our permanent resident. He accompanies the other dogs when we take them for walks, is a bit barky but has not been in any fights and comes when called.
Dexter shows signs of jealousness when you pet other dogs but, again, is not aggressive. We believe here at the shelter is the first time he has ever received love. Every morning, we open the door and no matter who is there to greet him he will rush for loves and pets. Dexter is a truly beautiful dog with a great personality and with a little patience and training could become the perfect sidekick.
One of the team members recently drove off, to which Dexter followed and when the team member returned home, he was patiently waiting at the end of the road to follow the car home.
Details and Updates:
The total cost to prepare Dexter for Europe is $650USD
