About Tex

Dexter FKA Mr T has his quirks, and getting to know him takes time. He struggles to trust men and boys, particularly those with beards, and can express this through growling or spinning in his kennel. However, he's much more at ease with women and would thrive in an all-female household. With the right patience and encouragement, Dexter reveals his affectionate side, offering the warmest hugs. He enjoys the company of other dogs, especially his buddy Indy, and loves to wrestle during playtime. If you have a dog already, a Meet & Greet is essential to ensure they're compatible. Dexter's spinning is a reflection of stress, not his true nature, and he shines when he's free to run in the exercise yard or on walks. Having spent considerable time in the shelter, Dexter deserves a loving home. While he may not fit everyone's criteria, sharing his story could help find him the right match. He is ready to flourish in a supportive environment. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
