About Dexter

Dexter is a lively young dog, looking for a loving home after being surrendered. He is housebroken and full of energy, making him a playful companion. Dexter is friendly with people, though he can be a bit jumpy and may accidentally knock down small kids. While he enjoys the company of other dogs, he might try to take charge in their presence. Unfortunately, he does tend to chase cats. This pup loves car rides and has a fondness for toys, which adds to his playful nature. Since Dexter was allowed to roam freely in his previous home, some training will help him establish boundaries. Crate training would be especially useful, at least until he learns proper behavior when left alone. Long walks and playtime will surely make him happy. If you're interested in making him a part of your family, reach out to the shelter to apply!
