My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hey there, pals! The name's Dexter, and I've got a tail-wagging tale to share with you. 🐾

I'm what they call a sweetie and an adventure lover. At first, I might seem a tad shy, but let me tell you, once I get to know you, I'm all about the love and cuddles. You won't find me causing a ruckus; I'm a bit reserved and prefer to keep things on the calm side. Now, about those house manners...well, I've been living the kennel life for a while, so I could use a helping paw in that department. But hey, I'm a quick learner and eager to please!

My story began when I was just a pup, found in a park with my mom and two brothers, all thanks to the wonderful volunteers at Animal Aid Brigade. Life's an adventure, and I've embraced it with open paws. I've always been a good pup, but my brothers and mom found homes right away. I, on the other hand, was a bit shy, so I decided to take on a job at the kennel. Why, you ask? Well, I love other dogs, and I wanted to help them since I knew what it's like to be abandoned.

For the past year, I've been proudly employed as an ambassador for the rescue group, welcoming new arrivals and showing them the ropes. It's been a great gig, but I've decided it's time to move on from the kennel life and find a family to call my own. Meeting new people might make me a bit insecure, but I'm a social butterfly with other dogs, and I adore some good, rough play. So, I'd be the bee's knees in a home with another dog as my partner in crime.

Now, what I need is a patient and understanding adopter who can help me transition to home life with new people. With a little love and guidance, I know I can be the perfect companion you've been searching for!

If you're ready for a sweet, adventure-loving, cuddle enthusiast who's just a tad shy but full of love, I'm your guy. Let's embark on this new adventure together, shall we? 🐶❤️
