Dexter

About Dexter

Say hello to Dexter! This handsome boy is full of joy and never ending affection. His fosters describe him as happy, loving and goofy. Giving people hugs and kisses is one of his favorite things. He also loves to run, play with toys and cuddle up. Dexter wants to be part of whatever is happening in the house, sometimes so much so that he falls asleep standing up. Dexter greets everyone he meets with lots of love. He is learning that automatic hugs and kisses are not the best and that he should wait to be invited to give them. He currently lives with children ages 7 -17 and treats them the same as the adults. To Dexter, humans are the best and he loves to play and cuddle with them all. Proper introductions and supervision will be necessary as he is still learning to keep his paws on the ground. Dexter’s ideal home would be with an active family who is ready for endless kisses and has a willingness to continue his training. He is young and active, so a yard where he can run is ideal, but if given proper exercise he could do well in any living arrangement. Having access to parks and greenspace will help him get his zoomies out. As a young dog, he is medium to high energy and needs opportunities to get his energy out. He currently has two walks per day, as well as time outside to run around. Dexter does fairly well on leash, but is still learning his manners. Dexter came to us as a blank slate and is gradually learning his basic skills. He loves food and is easy to work with, so it makes him fun to teach. He has good house manners, but will probably steal food off the counter if given the chance. Dexter is housetrained, but could have some accidents during his transition period. His new family should be prepared to continue his training. Dexter currently lives with two other dogs and loves their company. He spends his days with them running in the yard, sharing toys and cuddling. A home with another dog would be great for Dexter, but if given opportunities to socialize he would be ok as a solo pet. He also lives with a cat and does well, both usually just keeping to themselves. If you are looking for a fun loving companion, Dexter is your guy. He has so much love to give and will brighten up your home. If you’re interested in adopting Dexter, please apply for him today!
