My story

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

Dexter is the definition of a dingus. A goofy staffy mix who just wants cuddles, a fluffy bed, a bone and to cruise around the neighborhood.

He’s working on learning impulse control as well as solidifying his potty training & overall life skills. Dexter LOVES to learn, play tug and to make friends with both people & dogs.

He does have a high prey drive so he would do best in a home without small dogs or cats. He does well with children and medium- larger dogs. He is crate trained, does well in the car and has been rocking his leash walking skills (training through some excited/ frustration reactivity & pray drive to bunnies but is progressing nicely with his training.

Estimated age: 2 years
