Meet DEXTER!
DEXTER was originally rescued and cared for by Muscat Dog Adoption before traveling to Give a Dog a Home Rescue in Sebec, Maine, with other saved dogs. He arrived on January 28th, 2025, and has since settled in well at the rescue.

Health & Background

Upon entry, DEXTER was cleared by the U.S. Canine Center for Diseases and is in great health:
Neutered

• Rabies and core vaccines up to date
• Heartworm & tick disease tested – all negative
• ️On monthly preventatives
• Microchipped
• Upon arrival, weighed approx. 34 lbs
• Estimated DOB: September 16th, 2022

DEXTER’s Personality

• DEXTER is a confident boy once he feels safe in his space. He’s very affectionate and loving, gives great snuggles, and thrives with human companionship.
• Friendly and social with other dogs
• Exposed to cats in Oman, but hasn’t been around cats since arriving in the U.S.
• Rides great in the car
• Leash trained

What DEXTER Needs

• We’re looking for a loving home that can provide:
• ‍An active and engaging lifestyle to keep him happy, healthy, and stimulated
• Good quality food, treats, and toys
• Regular veterinary care and wellness checks
• Understanding of his background – coming from a very different country means new sights, sounds, and smells could be overwhelming at first. He’ll need a patient family willing to help him build confidence at his own pace.

‍ DEXTER’s Story

In January 2023, DEXTER and his sister were rescued as young pups from a dangerous, high-traffic area near hotel complexes in Oman, where stray dogs are not welcome and often face being shot or run over. Thankfully, they were taken in by Muscat Dog Adoption Rescue.
His sister was adopted. With no local interest, DEXTER was chosen to travel to Maine in hopes of finding his forever family.

Stray dogs in Oman are known as “Wadi Dogs”—a unique mix of sighthounds like the elegant Saluki and smaller agile breeds, often resembling whippets. If not rescued, many of these dogs face heartbreaking outcomes.
