We Were Adopted! January 27th – February 2nd!

Dex finally found a home!!

We ended January with so many amazing adoptions. 51 cats, dogs and a rabbit found homes this week. But our most exciting adoption has to be our long timer Dex. Dex came through our doors in 2020 as a young, spry, and handsome distemper survivor. With the distinct crooked nose and cute muscle spasms, Dex stole our hearts. Falling in love with Dex should have been easy but after multiple adoptions and lots of heartbreak, Dex stayed with us for a long time.

To our dismay, Dex quickly became our longest stay dog. It wasn’t until 2022 that Dex was miraculously reunited with his original owner. We were so excited for Dex because we knew he would be loved unconditionally again. A year later we learned that his owner passed away and Dex was once again coming back to the shelter. We were heartbroken for him and couldn’t imagine how confused he was. We did not want Dex to wait so long again to find a loving home.

As hard as it’s been for him to be back in the shelter as a senior now, he was not nearly as energetic as before so more fosters were open to taking him in. He got to spend time away from the shelter but time was still ticking. We had just passed his one year anniversary of being back with us when a gentleman who had seen our posts came in to meet him. The adoption was inevitable, but he came in one more time to make sure Dex was the one, and finally took him home!

Thank you so much to his adopter for taking our special boy (and his favorite stuffy) home! We hope Dex brings as much joy and excitement to your life as he did ours. Congratulations Dex and Dad.
