Here's what the humans have to say about me:
IF YOU CAN SEE THIS POST, I AM STILL AVAILABLE AND LOOKING FOR MY FOREVER FAMILY
Meet Dexter! This lively young adult is a bundle of energy, weighing in at 75 lbs. With an outgoing personality and a love for adventure, Dexter is searching for an active, German Shepherd-loving human or family to call his own. He's a high-energy guy who thrives on play and is always ready for a new adventure. Dexter's zest for life is contagious, and he's a perfect fit for anyone seeking an active and fun-loving companion.
Dexter is fantastic with children, but due to his exuberant nature and substantial size, we recommend a home with children aged 7 and older to ensure everyone's safety and enjoyment.
When it comes to other dogs, Dexter is a social butterfly and enjoys the company of his furry friends. He's had a blast playing with them and would thrive in a home with another dog as a playmate. A spacious yard would be the cherry on top for Dexter, allowing him to run and burn off his boundless energy.
Dexter is an eager learner, already mastering the "sit" command, and he's ready to expand his repertoire of tricks and commands. Our dedicated volunteers have been diligently working on improving his leash manners, making those daily walks enjoyable for both Dexter and his human companion.
Dexter is an all-around great boy with a heart full of love to give. He's yearning to find a loving family that can appreciate his exuberance and adventurous spirit. If you're ready for a loyal, fun, and active four-legged companion, Dexter is the perfect match for you
This dog is currently in Del Norte Animal Shelter and would be transported to Portland, OR
