Dexter – Adoption Pending
Dashing Dexter is a perfect example of the old adage “wonderful things come in small packages”! This petite 45 lb boy is an energetic and affectionate wiggle bum who lives for cuddles from his people. At only a year and half, Dexter shows great potential and is clearly a very smart dog who will be a welcome addition to an active and snuggly family!
At home Dexter is well behaved and happy to fall asleep right on top of you, as long as he’s had enough exercise to expel his energy. He’s totally housetrained and will scratch at the door to let you know when he’s got to go. Dexter enjoys de-stuffing plush toys to appease his prey drive, but will never chew anything that he’s not supposed to, even when left home alone. He can get a bit anxious when you leave him, but it’s short lived. Having a doggie friend to keep him company would help ease his agitation and give him someone extra to play with!
When he’s not relaxing at home with his foster family, Dexter loves spending time outdoors hiking and playing in the water – he’ll stick his entire face under water to pick up rocks! Dexter definitely has a mind of his own and, like any other teenager, sometimes talks back when he’s asked to do something he doesn’t want to do (his foster family likens his “talking” to Chewbacca’s!) Dexter is always a gentleman on leash and walks very nicely with a harness. He’s also great off-leash and possesses excellent recall skills, responding well to his name.
Dexter’s a versatile guy who could run a 10k marathon, dragging you the whole way, but be just as happy staying home on the couch, sleeping on your lap all day. His people are his life, when you rub him he just melts into you and turns into a rag doll! Dexter’s ready to settle in to his forever home, so if this sounds like the pup for you, fill out an application today!
