Story
My name is Dexter. I wish I could talk and tell everyone my story because people around still don't understand what happened to me in the past. I'm friendly to other dogs. I'm not aggressive to people, however, I'm very shy and scared. I got used to some shelter's employees but still shaking if I see people approaching me. I need love and patient experienced adopter. Come see me! Just get your pre-adoption application filled out!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.WHAT WALLEN'S FOSTER FAMILY SAYS ABOUT HIM: Whether it's rocking and rolling in the back yard with my other dogs or rocking in the recliner with us, this guy is a total rockstar! Wallen is a friendly, outgoing guy who isn't shy about making new friends. He enjoys going for car rides especially when it's to go visit his doggy friends at the shelter! I work from home and Wallen entertains himself with toys or sleeps while I work. Sometimes he squeezes in the chair behind me! I guess he just wants to keep me company.  He's yet to find a toy that he doesn't like and has learned to bring the ball back and drop it so we can throw it again. He's developed a fondness of blankets and pillows and absolutely loves to cuddle. We're working on his approach to joining us in the chair because currently he comes in like a little wrecking ball! Most evenings, he falls asleep in my lap before retiring to his crate for the evening. He's learned to SIT and will usually default sit when he wants something. He enjoys going on walks and would make an excellent companion for someone. The future is bright for this adorable guy! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All PAWS cats and dogs are current on the vaccinations appropriate for their age.
