Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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


I’ve had Dexter since 2018
I adopted him he got lost in riverside we waited months for someone to claim him and no one did. I didn’t grow up with a dog so I don’t have any training skills. I got married in 2022 and where I live now they don’t allow dogs. He is currently living with my mom but she is hardly home now due to babysitting my baby niece at my brothers house. I live so close to my mom that I take him for walks before work and after work but stays home alone most of the time. It hurts me to ever think to put him up for adoption but I feel like if im being selfish. He needs a bit of training but over all he is a loving dog. I am in no rush I just want to find the perfect place to him. His shots are up to date I get him groomed every 2-3 month.
