Dexter's Story

Meet Dexter! <br/><br/>Dexter is an adult Belgian Malinois who definitely missed the memo about Mals being nonstop go-go-go. He's a surprisingly chill guy who is easy to have around and gets along great with other dogs.<br/><br/>But Dexter's absolute favorite? Kids. He LOVES them and is happiest soaking up all the attention they're willing to give him.<br/><br/>He rides great in the car, walks beautifully on leash, and is always happy to settle into his crate for a meal. In fact, Dexter takes mealtime pretty seriously... which may or may not explain why he's carrying a tiny bit of extra fluff. <br/><br/>If you love the intelligence and loyalty of a Mal but wouldn't mind one with a slightly more relaxed approach to life, Dexter might just be your guy.
