About Dexter! *On Trial in His New Home*
*DEXTER IS CURRENTLY TRIALING HIS NEW HOME - NO MORE ENQUIRIES/APPLICATIONS PLEASE* Awesome Dexter turns 3 on 18 September and we reckon his birthday wish would be to celebrate it in his forever home; can you help make Dexter’s wish come true???
Dex is a super friendly young Staffy who puts 110% enthusiasm into everything he does, from greeting his beloved humans to playing in the yard! He’s your typical affectionate, human loving Staffy who thrives on pats and attention! He does get excited when he first sees you and can jump up but he soon settles and is quite chilled out. We would recommend a home with school age children or older with some dog experience as he may accidentally bowl the littlies over with his playful exuberance!
This gorgeous boy is looking for a new home through no fault of his own, sadly his big “sister” passed away suddenly leaving Dexter as an only dog in a home where his humans work long hours so Dexter’s taken to escaping from his yard to go and find company and they’re worried he’ll get hit by a car so have had to resort to chaining him up which is far from ideal - it doesn’t help that the rental property he’s living in is on a corner allotment with inadequate fencing. So they’ve decided Dex deserves a better life in a home where his humans were around more often, or even somewhere with another friendly dog for company.
Delightful Dexter has a lovely nature and isn’t licky and only ever barks for a reason making him a good watchdog. He knows “sit” and is quite smart quickly getting the hang of new experiences especially when they benefit him!
Enjoy some video of Dexter: https://youtu.be/BeIM9McCo58
As you can see from his video he quite likes a game of fetch bringing the ball back most of the time! And he also enjoys doggie toys especially the squeaky kind which he quickly destroys with gusto, so Staffy-tough toys are the go!
As his humans have been time poor when it comes to Dex he’ll need some practice on a lead though he enjoys going for a walk so the more he does this the better he’ll become. He’s housetrained though hasn’t spent much time inside as the rental property he’s currently in won’t allow it, but given that Staffies are happiest hanging with their family and they shed little hair, we’d like to see him in an indoor / outdoor lifestyle in his forever home.

Adoption details
Please Note: SARG and our animals for adoption are located in Mildura in North-West Victoria.
Our adoption process commences with completing an Application form which you'll find at: www.sarg.net.au
The Application is then reviewed, references checked and a yard check done, then, if there are no issues, a meet and greet is organised. If all goes well the last stage is a 28 day home-trial to make sure that everyone is happy.
If the trial is successful our “stray” is then officially considered adopted and the microchip transferred into the new owners name.
If anything goes wrong SARG will always take back one of our animals :)
