About Dewey LOCAL

Meet Dewey! This charming young dog is about a year old and approximately 46 lbs. Dewey is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, on heartworm preventative, and microchipped, making him ready to find his forever home. He has an adventurous spirit, perfect for anyone looking for a companion who loves to explore the great outdoors—hiking, running, and long walks are his favorite activities. After all the excitement, Dewey enjoys settling down for some lap time, demonstrating his gentle and affectionate nature. While he gets along well with other dogs and is good with children, Dewey is still learning how to navigate the world with leash manners. His journey started when he was rescued from a pond, and now he’s looking for a home where he can shine. An obedience class is highly recommended to nurture his training and social skills, helping him grow even more confident. Dewey has an interesting medical background, having tested positive for exposure to ehrlichia after treatment. He is currently healthy, but potential adopters should consult with a vet regarding this. If you think you can provide a loving and active environment for him, Dewey is ready to meet you!
