Story
Dexter spent a weekend with two of our foster volunteers, and it was all it took to see what a calm, sweet, affectionate, playful, happy, and gentle companion he is. He is house-trained, enjoys short to medium leisurely neighborhood walks, car rides, golf cart rides, and cuddling. He is a low to medium energy dog with polite indoor manners. When you are on the sofa, he will be by your side. He is a happy dog who will sleep curled up in bed with you. Once he settles on your bed, he stays still for the night and wakes up when you do.Dexter gives the best "boxer" hugs when you come home and shows the happiest wiggle butts when he sees the leash-he loves his people and going for walks. Dexter knows sit, down, shake, and wait. He offers his paw for a shake, will sit and wait at the door before each walk, and sit for his food dish. He sat right next to our foster volunteers on the sofa while they ate breakfast, watching the morning news, and never tried to sneak a bite of their meal.Dexter may be shy and aloof during his first visit with you in the shelter, but it only took 24 hours in our volunteer's foster home for Dexter to completely turn around and become a tail-wagging, butt-wiggling love bug. Please watch his video to see this transformation between his behavior in the shelter and at home. Dexter becomes playful and happy if you are patient and give him the chance to become comfortable. He loves belly rubs, playing fetch, car rides, golf cart rides, and walks. He is well-behaved in the car and stays in his seat, enjoying putting his nose out of the window when it is rolled halfway down for him. Dexter does seem shy of new things and new people, but patience, praise, and treats will win him over. Now he loves golf cart rides! We recommend any children in his new home be age 10 or older. Dexter may do well with other dogs in his new home with a slow introduction. Adoption fee: WaivedMonthly Promotion Applies
