Dexter is a 6-year-old boxer mix weighing in at about 66 pounds, full of personality and with a tail that can clear the coffee table. He greets every day with big energy, humor, and a need to be near his people—preferably curled up right beside them. If you want a companion who pretends he's the world's largest lap dog, that's Dexter through and through. Expect endless kisses and a dog who genuinely believes it's his job to make you smile. He's affectionate and gentle at heart, but still forgets how big he is, so homes with older kids and dogs of similar size would be the best fit. Dexter is reliably house trained and not known for excessive barking. His energy is impressive for his age; he loves time outdoors and benefits from regular exercise. His love for food is competitive—this is a dog who can find, open, and snack on anything you leave accessible, so crating when alone is a must. He's a fair sport with water bowls and most toys, but prefers to have high-value treats alone in his crate, where he feels secure. All in all, Dexter is wildly loving, spirited, and entertaining. He is neutered, vaccinated, and ready for the next adventure. Adopters must be within 175 miles of Bettendorf, IA, and any existing pets should be up to date on shots, prevention, and altered.
