About Dexter

Dexter is a striking bloodhound, full of charm and personality at 5 years old. He gets along well with other dogs, cats, and children, making him a fantastic family companion. Completely house trained, he knows how to use the dog door and prefers to head to his crate when his humans are busy or away. A good listener, Dexter responds positively to corrections. However, if left unattended, he may take the opportunity to scavenge for snacks, as he’s quite food motivated—he'll gobble up his meals, even with meds mixed in! He walks nicely on a leash but can be a bit cautious around new people. Once he warms up, he remembers their kindness. Dexter thrives with a confident handler to reassure him, especially since he has some anxiety about vet visits. A patient vet who understands his needs would be ideal. He’d prefer a home with a solid privacy fence and someone comfortable handling a larger dog. Affectionate and loyal, Dexter loves to cuddle on the couch or a cozy bed. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to Dexter, he’s eager to be your new best friend. Click apply to start the adoption process.
