Dexter Rottweiler Bend, OR

Meet Dexter! Say hello to Dexter, a 7-month-old Rottweiler boy with energy to spare and love to give! This handsome pup is full of life, always ready for an adventure, and eager to find a forever family that can keep up with his playful spirit.

Dexter is a fun-loving, bouncy boy who thrives on exercise and mental stimulation. Whether it's playing games, playing hard, a long walk/adventure, or learning new tricks, he's always up for the challenge! He's a smart pup who would love an active home where he can continue to learn and grow.

While Dexter is full of energy, he also has a sweet and affectionate side. He adores his humans and enjoys belly rubs, snuggles, and just being part of the family. With proper training and structure, he's sure to grow into a loyal and well-mannered companion.

Dexter would do best in a home with experienced dog owners who understand the needs of a young, energetic Rottweiler. A bigger fenced yard or more rural property and plenty of opportunities for playtime or a job to do would be ideal for this amazing boy! He's still learning his manners, so a family committed to training, setting proper boundaries and giving him the guidance he needs would certainly be most ideal.

If you're looking for an adventurous, loving, and loyal best friend, Dexter might be your perfect match! Could you be the one to give him the loving home he deserves?

steps to adopting

(OUR ADOPTABLE DOGS ARE IN SEPARATE TEMPORARY FOSTER HOMES BETWEEN BEND/CENTRAL OREGON AND THE GREATER PORTLAND AREA. THEREFORE, MEET AND GREETS ARE NOT DONE AT OUR FACILITY. TO LEARN MORE, PLEASE SUBMIT YOUR ADOPTION APPLICATION ONLINE AND OUR ADOPTION PROGRAM MANAGER WILL REACH OUT TO YOU WITH FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO MEET YOUR NEW PUP!)

The first step to adopting a dog from SDH is to complete the adoption application. First click on the "OUR DOGS tab up above, and then click on the orange colored "Fill out an Adoption Application here" button to start the process). Once submitted, please expect 3-5 business days or sooner for processing and to hear back from us. Once you are pre-approved, your adoption application will remain on file with us for 1 year and it can go towards multiple adoptions within that 1 year time frame before it expires.

To finalize an adoption you must sign the adoption contract and pay the full adoption fee of $550. The adoption fee helps cover our costs. On average, per dog, it costs SDH between $500-$700 for vetting/medical/sterilization, transport and other rescue related expenses. All dogs are rescued and do not transport to SDH until they are healthy and ready to be adopted. All dogs are examined by a veterinarian before they fly, which includes sterilization whenever possible, given standard vaccines and rabies (if age appropriate). Most dogs are sterilized before they come into our program, however if this is not the case we will spay/neuter them once they arrive at our cost.

Upon their arrival, all dogs are seen for a wellness exam by SDH's medical team. Once the adoption is finalized, any further medical care or treatment will not be covered by SDH, unless discussed prior with our medical team. All known issues are disclosed to the best of our ability prior to finalizing the adoption.
