Dexter has seen the worst, but you’d never know it from his cheerful attitude. This young Irish Lurcher survived neglect and a tough past as a badger baiting dog, leaving him with facial scars, but he’s full of resilience and happiness. Dexter is an enthusiastic co-pilot on car rides, loves discovering new places, and always lights up at the chance to roll in the grass when the sun’s out. He’s sharp and eager to please, quick to practice his sit, down, and stay each day, and never misses a chance to show what he’s learned. Squeaky toys are a new obsession, and he genuinely enjoys meeting people—Dexter thrives on attention from both new friends and the familiar faces he trusts. For Dexter, the ideal home is moderately active and led by an experienced adopter who’ll give him plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. He’s best as the only dog, since he doesn’t really get along with others, and he isn’t a great fit for apartment living. Cat compatibility hasn’t been tested. This is a dog who will reward your commitment with loyalty and affection in spades. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
