About Dexter

Meet Dexter, affectionately known as Cowboy! This charming Dachshund is ready to find his forever home. At 8 years young, he brings a delightful mix of playful spirit and laid-back charm. Dexter was in need of rescue after his family couldn't take him along during a move. Thankfully, Sophia's Grace Foundation stepped in to give him a second chance. Dexter is a friendly social butterfly, getting along well with everyone he meets — humans, dogs, and even cats. He loves being part of the action, whether it's on his daily walks or at family outings like softball games. And when it's time to relax, he's a professional snuggler, eager to curl up beside you or burrow under blankets. Although he’s house-trained, Dexter may need some time to adjust to a new environment and could mark initially. With love and patience, he will settle in nicely. Dexter is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Ready to give this little cowboy the love he craves? Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
