Meet new orphan boy Dexter!
He is currently located in West Tennessee. This handsome lab is estimated to be 3 years old...is housebroken--does not need to be crated...loves retrieving his ball or the nylobone for as long as you as you throw it.. He has been with his foster moms three dogs--2 Female(spayed large breed) and a neutered mini poodle... Did not mind the cats at the vets office even when they came over where we were sitting.He is protective of his food with the other dogs but not if everyone is getting treats at the same time--they all take them to their places to eat them, Dexter takes his to his bed in the living room.He knows basic obedience--sit, down ,bed, leave it ,no, house, and will let you know if he needs to go outside, loves riding in the car--backseat-- Barks when someone comes to the house but stops when you tell him .He loves getting attention but is a little shy when he first meets someone new. Because he gets excited and could knock over little kids, we wouldnt recommend real young kids. He is well mannered in the house and listens well.
Dexter will make a wonderful companion for the right family.
