Meet the charming Dexter! 🌟 This little heartthrob is a 6-year-old Dachshund mix with the cutest black, brown, and white coat. He’s a small lovebug weighing in at just 16 pounds. 🐾 Now, let’s dive into Dexter’s journey! He arrived at rescue from a chaotic dog shelter, where life was loud and scary—definitely no place for a sweet soul like him! After being surrendered by his previous owner, he faced the world with a bit of shyness and stress. 😟 But oh, how the tables have turned! Since moving to his foster home, Dexter has blossomed into a delightful character! 🤗 No longer is he just hiding in a corner; now, he relishes the cozy embrace of his foster mom's bed, enjoys barking at the deer prancing in the yard, and has even discovered the joy of pup cups! 🍦🎉 And let’s not forget—he’s learned to play with toys! What a transformation! Now, Dexter may not be the biggest fan of car rides, but take heart! He survived his vet checkup like a champ. And when a friend dropped by, he was a little too excited initially, but a soft word calmed him right down. 😌 While Dexter thrives on one-on-one attention and prefers to be the only fur-child, he has a heart full of love just waiting for that special someone to shower it upon. 🌈 If you’re looking for a cuddly companion who is sweet and well-behaved, then look no further! Dexter is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and, most importantly, heartworm negative! 💖 Currently fostered in Mt. Vernon, OH, Dexter is ready for his fur-ever family. Just a heads-up, there's an adoption fee of $350. If this adorable fella has tugged at your heartstrings, *please apply through the Buddy App!* Your future best friend is eagerly waiting for you! 🐶💞 Remember, only applications through the Buddy App will be considered, so don’t wait! Dexter is counting on you! 🏠
