About Dexter

Dexter recently arrived with Terry, but the two aren't being adopted together. He's a classic, easygoing guy who likes to stick close—happy lounging nearby or even on your lap if the mood strikes. Hand him a treat and he'll take it gently, waiting for his turn is something he's working on. Dexter walks on a leash, enjoys car rides tucked in a small crate, and is already potty trained even though he can't quite manage the doggie door. He does well with other dogs, but prefers calm, laid-back companions who won't overwhelm him. If you've got a quiet spot and space in your heart, Dexter might just be looking for you.
