Dexter is a fluffy ball of love and affection. He is very undemanding and just wants the attention and adoration he so richly deserves.
Dexter would love a home with a fenced in yard, so he can wander at his own pace. He doesn't need a lot of exercise or playtime, but he enjoys having quality time with his humans. He likes going for walks and playing with small, soft toys. He is hoping to have another dog in his new home, for gentle companionship. He would prefer a human who enjoys snuggling and is home most of the time, so Dexter can keep an eye on him.
Dexter is housetrained, although it is helpful to have some pee pads available, in case he wants to potty when no one is available. He came in very thin, and we have been working hard to get him up to a proper weight. He enjoys eating soft food. Due to some stomach issues, he is currently on a prescription food. His hearing is quite limited, so the best way to communicate with him is pets and treats.
Dexter is at his cutest when he is wriggling on his back on the carpet. He also has adorable little barks and growling sounds.
Dexter is approx 13 years old and 12 lbs.
Fostered in Germantown, MD
