The adoption of Dexter (formally know as Raul)

I met Raul on Friday the 13th of February 2015 during a morning dog walking volunteer shift. He had only been at the shelter 2 days (came in on a Rescue Wagon 2/11/2015) so not much was known about him other than his birthdate and some vaccine history. He seemed to be having a difficult time adjusting to shelter life but was a very sweet and loving boy who stole my heart immediately. I knew that I wanted to give Raul his forever home, so I convinced my husband (in the spirit of Valentine's Day) to go to the shelter with me to meet him. So, on Valentine's Day 2015, we went to HSHV to meet Raul. I knew that I wasn't going to leave without him, and it didn't take much more than meeting Raul for my husband to agree. We were a little nervous at first because we have a dog and 2 cats and there was no information on Raul's history to know how he would react to other animals, but we were willing to work with him and give it a try.

He's now been home with us for 2 weeks and has adjusted well to his new sister Dakota (an 11-year-old golden retriever) and the 2 cats. He enjoys going to work with my husband and Dakota (our dogs get to hang out at our flooring warehouse and play with customers and staff). He has also got to go on some short runs with us, and we can't wait to take him on longer runs when the weather improves. He also spends lots of time snuggling with us on the couch which we are pretty sure is his favorite activity. We couldn't be happier with the new addition to the Bolen family. Dexter (formally known as Raul) has definitely found his forever home :-)
