Dexter

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Male - Identified - Vaccinated - Neutered Crossbreed Labrador Born on 15/06/2021 Dexter is a young dog who has had a seemingly very difficult early life, both psychologically and physically. Abandoned thoughtlessly on the public highway, Dexter has a deformed front paw, his paw was fractured but not treated, so it has consolidated crookedly and in pain. To this day, he no longer suffers from it, and surgery at this stage could do worse. He is also traumatized by humans he does not know, but once he trusts them, he is a love, a glue pot! He is dynamic, playful, ok with fellow dogs. For cats, we prefer to avoid him, as he suddenly rushes at them. He will need a patient, gentle and present family for his education. He has known the worst, the best is yet to come. Adoption fee €270 If you are interested, please complete the adoption form below.

Mâle - Identifié - Vacciné - Castré Croisé Labrador Né le 15/06/2021 Dexter est un jeune chien qui a eu un début de vie semble t il très difficile autant psychologiquement que physiquement. Abandonné lâchement sur la voie publique Dexter a une patte avant déformée, sa patte a été fracturée mais pas soignée elle s'est donc consolidée de travers et dans la douleur. A ce jour il n'en souffre plus et une chirurgie à ce stade pourrait faire pire. Il est également traumatisé par les humains qu'il ne connaît pas mais une fois en confiance c'est un amour voir un pot de colle ! Il est dynamique, joueur, ok congénères. Pour les chats nous préférons éviter car il arrive brusquement sur eux. Il lui faudra une famille patiente, douce et présente pour son éducation. Il a connu le pire, le meilleur reste à venir. Frais d'adoption 270€ Si vous êtes intéressé, merci de compléter le formulaire d'adoption ci-dessous.

About Dexter

What life with Dexter looks like

Dexter is a adult mixed breed dog waiting at SBPA - Le Refuge de Lintot in France.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇫🇷Adopting from France

French refuges follow the SPA framework: adopters sign a cession contract that includes sterilization, vaccinations, microchip identification, and rabies passport. Fees are typically €150–€300. Many refuges work with rescue transport partners for cross-border placements.

Frequently asked

Adopting Dexter, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Dexter?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. SBPA - Le Refuge de Lintot handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Dexter on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Dexter if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — SBPA - Le Refuge de Lintot will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Dexter already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Dexter isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with SBPA - Le Refuge de Lintot early rather than rehoming privately; they know Dexter and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (FR). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
