Oops!
Kendall, I didn't realize that my Dexter story is gone before I referenced it. Anyway, I found Dexter one morning walking down the street in front of my house. He was hungry and thirsty. I took him to my veterinarian to make sure he was ok, but knowing I couldn't keep him. Once my vet checked him out and gave him all his up to date shots, he told me this would be an 80-100 pound dog when full grown. He was estimating that he was about 4 months old at the time I found him. He is definitely a chow mix of some kind. He is so loving and sweet. One of my friends came by to see him and agreed to keep him. They are so happy together. Dexter has fit right in his new home with another dog and two cats. I already had two full grown Golden Retrievers so I knew I wasn't going to be able to keep him in my limited space, although I would have if I had more room. He has come to spend the weekend with us once, and made himself right at home! I think Dexter is one grateful dog to have found people that love him so much. He knew the right house to walk past!
Hope that gives you the abbreviated version of Dexter's story.
