Dexter Foundation

A 501c3 all volunteer charity committed to the forgotten, unwanted dogs who need us the most. Dedicated to saving shelter dogs who's time has run out

Volunteers and Foster Homes 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.

Meet Clementine! 🍊🐾

Clementine is an English Bulldog mix girl (5 yrs old) with a face you just can't say no to — and honestly, why would you want to?

She is a champion cuddler who is great with everyone — dogs, people, and kids alike. Her exercise needs are blissfully low: a short stroll, then it's back to the serious business of lounging. Belly rubs? Yes. Couch time? Absolutely. Being adored? She insists.

Clementine is being fostered right here in the South Bay and is ready to meet her forever family. 💛

New haircuts, who dis? ✂️🐾

Mufasa (3 yrs old) and his son Simba (1 yr old) just got fresh haircuts, and they are feeling themselves. Mufasa would especially like everyone to admire his tongue-out look in the first photo. 😋

These two are a bonded father-and-son pair — where one goes, the other follows — so they're looking for one forever home together. They'd do best in a calm home, with adults or older, dog-savvy kids.

Double the love, one adoption. 💛 Apply at dexterfoundation.com/adoption-application — Southern California adoptions.

🎃 Happy Halloween from The Dexter Foundation! 🐾 Tonight is fun for humans but can be risky for dogs — a few simple things keep your pup safe:

🚪 Mind the door: with trick-or-treaters coming and going, dogs slip out easily — thousands get lost on Halloween. Keep your dog safely inside, in a quiet room away from the front door.
🍫 No candy, ever: chocolate is toxic to dogs, and xylitol (in sugar-free candy and gum) and raisins are dangerous too. Keep all candy and wrappers out of reach.
🕯️ Watch the flames: a wagging tail can knock over a candle or a lit jack-o'-lantern. Keep them out of reach, or use battery LED lights.
🏷️ Just in case: collar and ID tag on, microchip info up to date.
🎭 Costumes are optional — if your dog isn't loving it, a bandana is just as cute.

Ate something they shouldn't? Call your vet or ASPCA Poison Control: 888-426-4435.

Have a fun, safe night! 🧡

🐾 Meet Daisy — a little survivor with a big heart! ❤️

Daisy (3 yrs old) is a sweet Dachshund/Chihuahua mix girl, about 13 lbs, spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and ready for her forever home.

Daisy and her sister Stella lost their owner, and when police came for a wellness check, the girls had been left outside to fend for themselves. Thankfully, they were rescued and are safe in foster care together. 💕

Now Daisy is ready for her next chapter:
🎾 Happy, playful, and full of personality
🍗 Loves food and treats!
🥰 Sweet, affectionate, and cuddly
🏡 Still learning to be house trained, but she's very smart
🐕 Great with other dogs and kids — and would also love being your one-and-only

After everything she's been through, Daisy deserves a lifetime of love. Could you be her happily-ever-after? 🏡

Available through The Dexter Foundation in Redondo Beach — we adopt to Southern California homes. Apply: dexterfoundation.com/adoption-application/

Please share! 🐶❤️

Meet Linus! Linus is a 2 1/2-year-old pit mix with a whole lot of heart. He's been part of his family since he was just 2 months old, and he's the kind of dog who wants to be right next to you — affectionate, loyal, smart, and trainable. He's about 45 to 50 lbs.

Linus is leash-trained, potty trained, and e-collar trained, and he loves to run — he's happiest running alongside a bike, at the dog park, or at the dog beach. He's great with kids and with people coming into the house (he'll jump up just to love on you), and he's great with dogs his size.

He's neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and vet care. One important thing: Linus needs a home without cats.

If you'd like to meet Linus, please complete our adoption application: https://www.dexterfoundation.com/adoption-application/
Dexter Foundation, Redondo Beach, CA. Adoptions to Southern California only.

Luna update 🤍 She's hard of hearing and has limited vision — and just look at her go. She mapped out her foster home in no time: down the pet stairs, across the room, and straight through the curtain like she owns the place. 😄 Smart, brave, devoted — and still looking for a calm foster or forever home within the next 2 weeks. Apply at dexterfoundation.com 🐾

MEET LUNA 🤍 Luna (9 yrs old) is a beautiful senior Chihuahua girl looking for the soft landing she deserves.

Witnesses watched a car pull up to a park, put Luna out, and drive away. 💔 A Good Samaritan contacted one of our volunteers, who caught her. No owner ever stepped up — she wasn't microchipped and had no ID tag.

Luna had a large ulcerated mass on her tail. She's had her surgery and is so much more comfortable now. 🤍

She's sweet, devoted, and loving — very well behaved, quiet, house trained, and dog friendly.

✅ Spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, teeth cleaned — ready to go home today!

⏰ Luna needs a foster OR a forever home within the next 2 weeks — her temporary foster has to travel soon. Even fostering for a little while would be a lifeline. 🙏

🏠 Her ideal home: a calm home where she can be close to her person.

MEET GOLDIE 💛 Goldie (10 yrs old) is a sweet senior Shih Tzu girl looking for a cozy forever home.

She's friendly, well-behaved, and the best of both worlds — she loves her walks, but she's just as happy being a cuddly couch potato right next to you. 🛋️

Goldie has dry eyes, which just means easy daily eye drops — a tiny routine in exchange for a whole lot of love.

✅ She's house trained, spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped — ready to go home today!

Don't let "senior" fool you — small dogs often live into their late teens, so at (10 yrs old) she's barely middle-aged, with so many good years left. Older girls deserve to be loved just as much as puppies do. 💛

🏠 Her ideal home: a retired person or someone who works from home.

MUFASA & SIMBA 🧡 A father-and-son duo looking for their forever family.

Mufasa (3 yrs old) is the gentle, laid-back dad. He loves car rides with his head out the window, quiet cuddles, and being close to his people.
Simba (1 yr old) is his goofy, energetic son — all wags, playtime, and kisses.

They came into rescue with broken trust after being starved and abused on the streets. Little by little, they learned they were finally safe. Now they lean in for cuddles.

They're healthy, happy, and they're a bonded pair — they must be adopted together. Could your home be theirs?

🏠 Simba's ideal home: a calm, adult-only household (or one with older, dog-savvy kids). He's still learning to share his favorite people and toys — he'd love a patient family who'll let him be the baby.

Apply at dexterfoundation.com — and please share. Their forever family could be just one share away. 🐾
