My story

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

Ready to Make a New Friend! My name is Dexter and I am a brown brindle beauty who is about to win you over with my good looks and loving personality. I am a sweet and gentle dog who greets everyone I meet with exuberant tail wags and sloppy doggie kisses. I do a really nice sit for my treats and take them softly from your hand. And because I am so treat motivated and eager to learn, any training you may want to do should go smoothly. I am an active guy who would love to join you on any and all outdoor activities you may be interested in. I am also a very affectionate guy who will lean up against you when I am ready for some well-deserved pets and scratches. And just so you know, butt scratches are my favorite! I am going to make a loyal and loving companion for some lucky person. So if you are looking for a buddy to share life's many adventures with, consider me. You will be glad you did!
