About Dexter

Dexter is a lively young boy, estimated to have been born in early June. He arrived at the Bedford Humane Society after being picked up as a stray from the county shelter. As a Heeler mix, he’s filled with energy and enthusiasm. Training classes would be beneficial to help channel his eagerness to learn. Given his smaller features, we project he will be medium-sized when fully grown. It's best to feed Dexter separately from other animals because he tends to eat quickly, a habit formed when he was found underweight. He gets along well with dogs his size and is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. This affectionate pup is ready to find a loving home. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
