My story

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

Meet Dexter, a dog with a heart full of love and loyalty. Dexter's independent spirit means he's perfectly content to entertain himself, but he also cherishes the company of his human friends. His friendly nature makes him a joy to be around, always eager to make new friends. Dexter's mellow demeanor ensures he's a calming presence in any home, providing a sense of tranquility that's truly comforting. Despite his independent streak, Dexter's loyalty is unwavering. He's the kind of dog who'll be by your side, no matter what. His friendly, loyal, and mellow nature makes him a wonderful companion. Dexter deserves a loving home where he can continue to share his warmth and affection. Give Dexter the chance to bring his unique blend of independence, friendliness, and loyalty into your life. Adopt Dexter and let his mellow, friendly spirit fill your home with love and companionship. Dexter is still learning how to politely share his treats so we recommend that any children in his new home are age 10 or older. He may do well with other dogs in his new home after a slow introduction.
