Dedicated to Rescuing Dogs in the Southern California Area and Placing them in Loving Forever Homes  
Dexter Foundation Southern California Boston Terrier Rescue
Volunteers and Foster Homes Desperately Needed!

Due to the recent housing crisis, dogs are being abandoned at shelters at record rates as their families are forced to relocate.       
The increased cost of living has forced many families to make the difficult decision to surrender their beloved family members.   
Those  who can help, need to help these healthy, happy dogs find their new forever homes.  Can you foster a dog for a few days
or weeks?  It's easy, fun and extremely rewarding.  A foster home simply provides a warm, loving home for the dogs, and we do
the rest!  We find, interview, and accept the family who wishes to adopt your rescued dog.  You give us insights into the dogs    
personality, which helps us to find the ideal home.  We pay for any expenses that you incur.

The Dexter Foundation does not have a brick and mortar kennel facility.  Instead, all of our dogs are housed in private foster       
homes located throughout Southern California.  Without the tremendous generosity and loving care provided by our foster homes,
we could not continue to assist the number of dogs that are turning up in shelters.  Foster homes provide our rescue dogs with
a safe, comfortable haven where we can assess their personalities and particular needs and get them the medical care they may
need prior to placing them into a permanent, adoptive home.  Please consider volunteering to be a foster home for one of our    
rescue dogs.

Meet Chance, Bulls, Little Bit, Racer, Bandit, Petey, Teddy, Marvin, Dash,
Bobby and Tula
!!
They are our  newest rescues! They are all wonderful, happy, and playful dogs who need a home.   

Chance is a  year 3 year old French bulldog/ English bulldog mix. He's loving once he gets to
know you, but needs an experienced dog owner. This beautiful dog clearly came from an abusive
home life and is hand shy around people. Chance needs someone to love him and show him that
people are good and kind. Can you give Chance the home he deserves? Chance is fully
vaccinated, spayed and microchipped. He weighs 26 lbs.


Riley is a 9 month old mixed Terrier puppy. He is a happy, well behaved boy who loves to play!
Riley is still a puppy, and he finds everything fascinating and new! He well with other dogs, is
house trained, vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. He's very smart and affectionate. Riley
weighs only 18 lbs, and would do well in a house or apartment.



Little Bit is a young Chi/ Basenji mix rescued from the Rancho Cucamonga shelter. Little Bit has
the happiest little personality! He loves to play, is extremely smart and gets along well with other
dogs. All of the shelter volunteers fell in love with his playful antics and affectionate personality.
Little Bit is full of joy, and brings a lot of positive energy into the house! He has a cute little smile
that could light up a room! Unfortunately, Little Bit has very mild seizure disorder and takes a very
inexpensive medicine. When his time at the shelter ran out, the volunteers looked for someone
who could save his life. We knew we had to rescue Little Bit! Not everyone can be perfect, but
Little Bit is pretty close :) He is house trained, vaccinated and microchipped. Little Bit would do
well in a house or an apartment. Little Bit is a lot of fun! He loves to throw his toys in the air, then
chase after them to catch them! He's a very happy boy.

Racer is a one year old Scottie / Cairn terrier mix rescued from the San Bernardino shelter. His
time had run out, so we sent a volunteer to the shelter to save his life. Racer is a happy healthy
little boy that loves to play! He weighs only 12 lbs, is microchipped, neutered and vaccinated.
Racer is very affectionate and loves to cuddle! He would make a great addition to any family.


Bandit is a gorgeous purebred Boston Terrier! Bandit's family took him to the shelter because
they could no longer take care of him. They left him there, knowing that most dogs don't make it
out of the shelter alive. Bandit just wants a family that will love him, and never abandon him again!
He's a healthy 3 year old dog that loves all dogs, kids and people he meets. Bandit is a cuddle
bug that loves to snuggle while watching TV. He's neutered, microchipped, house trained and
vaccinated. Bandit would make a great companion for anyone who works from home, or for a
senior.


Petey is a 7 year old purebred Boston terrier. He's a wonderful dog, loves to play with his toys,
and is very affectionate. About a year ago,  Petey went blind, and his parents could not afford
the surgery to restore his vision. Unfortunately, Petey is now permanently blind. His parents were
going to take him to the shelter because they didn't want a blind dog, and didn't think anyone
else would either. We know we can find Petey his new forever home! Dogs are very good at
mapping out their surroundings using their sense of smell. If you saw Petey playing and enjoying
life, you'd never know he can't see. Petey will make a great companion and is extremely devoted!


Teddy is a 2 year old Terrier mix rescued from the shelter on his last day. Volunteers asked if we
could save him, only hours before being euthanized :( Teddy is extremely well behaved, and has  
been described as a perfect gentleman! Teddy is a mellow dog, gets along well with other dogs,
and is house trained. Teddy is a medium sized dog, weighs about 40 lbs and very healthy. He
would love to go on long walks, and have a new family of his own. This beautiful young dog
deserves a chance to live.


Marvin is a 2 year old Malti-poo that is absolutely adorable! He became lost and ended up in
the shelter. He waited and waited for his family to save him, but no one ever came. Sadly,
Marvin wasn't going to make it out of the shelter. We sent a volunteer over to save him just in
time! Marvin is a well behaved little boy, weighs about 8 lbs, is house trained, and gets along
well with cats and dogs.


Dash is a cute little Chihuahua that was found wandering a busy street. A good samaritan
picked him up and asked us to help! Without an ID or microchip, finding his family was
impossible, but we still tried. After several months, we knew we had to find Dash a new family
that would never let him get lost again! We had him microchipped for extra safety! Dash is a
tiny little boy, weighing only 6 lbs. He's extremely affectionate, loves to cuddle, and very devoted.
Dash gets along well with other dogs, and isn't at all yippy the way some small dogs can be.
Dash will make the perfect companion for anyone looking for a new best friend.


Bobby is a 2 year old purebred miniature Poodle! He was saved from the shelter on his last
day. Bobby is a quiet, well behaved little boy! He weighs only 8 lbs, and loves to cuddle while
you watch TV. Bobby is a happy boy who gets along well with other dogs, and is house trained.
We had Bobby neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated.


Tula is a Bull terrier mix puppy! She's only 8 months old, but found her way into a shelter in
Northern California. Our volunteer who found her knew she shouldn't die! Tula is an absolute
joy to be around! She loves to play, and is very loving. Tula gets along with every person or dog
she meets. She has a cute personality and is extremely smart. Tula quickly learned all the house
rules, walks well on a leash and is potty trained. She is spayed, microchipped and fully
vaccinated. Tula would love to have a family of her own!
The Dexter Foundation....

Committed to helping the forgotten, unwanted dogs who need us the most. We are an all volunteer group dedicated to rescuing
shelter dogs whose time has run out, and assisting owners find homes for the dogs they can no longer keep.
About us...

The Adoption Process:  Email us an adoption application by cutting and pasting it into an email, attaching it as a PDF
or scanning it into an email. We then schedule a quick and easy home check. We are only adopting out to the Southern
California area. We save new dogs each week, so we often have dogs that we have yet to post on the internet.

Foster Homes Desperately Needed!  So many dogs are finding their way into shelters.  Sadly, due to overcrowding,
many never make it out.  We can only save as many dogs as we have available foster homes. Can you save a dog's life by
giving it a warm, loving home for a few days or weeks? We pay all of the dog's expenses, including food. Your kindness will
be repaid with lots of love and affection!  Email us for info at contactus@dexterfoundation.com.

URGENT!! Petey needs a home! Please help him!

Petey is a wonderful purebred Boston Terrier who suddenly became blind. His parents couldn't afford the
surgery to restore his vision, and now he is permanently blind. Petey is an extremely loving, affectionate
and well trained dog. He is house trained and otherwise healthy. Petey is so smart that he easily maps
out his surroundings with his sense of smell and effortlessly runs around the house. Seeing Petey play,
you'd never know that he's blind. Unfortunately, Petey's family has very small children. Toddlers can be
clumsy and pull or knock into Petey. He's become very scared and feels unsafe around them. Petey can't
tell if one of them will accidentally hit him with their toys. Petey's parents were going to take Petey to the
shelter because they didn't want a blind dog, and thought no one else would either. We knew we had to
step in! Petey will make a great dog for any family without small children. Petey is waiting to meet the new
family he will love forever! If you can't adopt Petey, can you at least foster him while we continue to
search for his new forever home? Petey is only 7 years old and is very easy to take care of! He's a happy
boy who loves to play with his tennis ball, or curl
up by your side. Please help Petey!
