Dexter is a distinguished, mature gentleman who is searching for a cozy lap and a soft bed to call his own. He truly enjoys his naps and appreciates all the comforts that come with a peaceful, loving home. He enjoys meeting new canine friends and spending time alongside them, making him a lovely companion in a multi-dog home. With a little time to settle in, Dexter will make a wonderful, easygoing companion for someone looking to share their home with a calm, loving senior who still has plenty of life left to enjoy. What is my personality like? Dexter says age is number and he's here to provide it. He is surprisingly spry and full of quiet joy. When it’s time to go outside, he lights up and happily dances his way to the door, eager to enjoy the fresh air. Dexter remains playful in his own gentle way and finds comfort in the company of other dogs. While much of pet life is familiar to him, he will still need some guidance with basic skills such as leash walking and settling into household routines as he adjusts to a new environment. Affectionate and sweet, Dexter enjoys being close to his people but also values his independence. He’s not demanding of constant attention and is perfectly content relaxing nearby, soaking up love when it’s offered. How do I act when I first meet new people? Dexter love meeting new people, but really, he is drawn to his doggy friends more so. Offer him a good soft bed and a buddy and he is all yours! Other tips and tidbits: We have no history on Dexter pre-rescue. Based on his overall health and condition he is estimated at 11 years old. We celebrate his birthday 01/28/2015. House trained? Dogs can be house trained if they are in the right environment and are allowed to follow a schedule as long as a physical reason doesn't keep them from being trained. A dog house trained in my home may not be in yours. We will help you teach your new dog this necessary skill and based on your schedule. Potential Adopters Dogs can’t drive — and since we’re busy taking care of them, we can’t either! Please check your potential BFF’s location and make sure you’re comfortable traveling to meet them.
