About Dexter

Meet Dexter, a sweet and fun-loving 3-year-old large mixed breed male who's full of joy and energy. He's like a giant puppy at heart, always bringing enthusiasm to every interaction. In playgroup, Dexter shines as a social butterfly, enjoying high-energy playdates with his doggy friends and always ready to have fun with his toys. He's already mastered the sit command and is eager to learn more, driven by treats and praise. Leash manners are a work in progress—he tends to pull when he's excited—yet with a little practice, he'll soon be walking like a true gentleman. Dexter gets along well with other dogs, but we recommend a meet and greet to ensure a great match with any resident pups. If you're looking for an affectionate and playful companion to complete your family, Dexter is waiting to meet you! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
