About Dex

Meet Dex, a charming 2.5-year-old Border Collie from Franklin, TN, who weighs 58 pounds and embodies a blend of handsome looks, affection, and playful goofiness. Before arriving at his foster home, Dex already showcased his big heart by forming a bond with a young puppy named Navi at the shelter. In a heartwarming display of loyalty, Dex climbed over a fence just to comfort and cuddle with him. Now in a loving foster environment, he continues to thrive with other dogs and is terrific with kids. Dex is known for his silly antics, endless personality, and even though he hasn’t mastered catching tennis balls, he approaches them with pure enthusiasm. He’s smart and quick when it comes to puzzles, which keeps his mind engaged. This affectionate boy needs a family willing to provide exercise and stimulation to keep his clever Border Collie brain happy. He enjoys toys and puzzles and loves cuddling up with those he adores. Although he walks well on a leash, he has a quirky habit of walking between your legs when he gets the chance, adding to his playful charm. Dex has the makings of an incredible family dog, ready to share his goofy ways with a loving home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
