23-099 Dexter , age 20 months, is a neutered Goldendoodle who was too strong for his original owner, who had just had a baby. The original owner gave him to the person who surrendered him to  AGR  – the dog was too strong for this person, too. Apparently, he chewed on furniture, too, if not crated when the family had to leave the house. He was placed with an adoptive couple in East Mesa.  Dexter  needed our standard vetting. He had already been given the Pro-heart injection, which provides year-long protection against heartworm, so we did not have to give two months of Heartgard ®  to the adopters as we normally do. The adopter said: 

Dexter  has been a true joy! He's a total goofball and makes us laugh all the time. When he runs, he doesn't just "run", he gallops, almost bounces. It's fun to watch! We love him. He's a wonderful dog and a big love bug. Fits in great with the family and gets along well with our other dog,  Emmy . Thanks for giving him to us.
