This roly-poly fluffball is dreaming of a family to call his own. Despite being such an amazing dog, Dexter found his way to the shelter when his owner could no longer care for him due to his epilepsy.

Dexter does need to be on Phenobarbitol and have regular bloodwork to monitor his condition. Don't let that put you off this gorgeous boy! He is full of life and love and would make an amazing best friend for the lucky person who chooses him.

To help with his care, the shelter has run complete bloodwork on Dexter that should be good for the next year and will send him home with one week of his medication. Give this big guy a chance! Stop by the shelter today for a visit!

Please note: adjusted adoption hours began June 4. Visit dupageco.org/animalcontrol for more details or call 630-407-2800.
