Dexter

Hi! I'm Dex — your future best friend, adventure buddy, and professional “lean in for pets” expert. <br/><br/>I'm a young guy which means I've got that perfect mix of puppy fun and “hey, I'm actually pretty smart about this life thing.” I already know my basics, walk nicely on leash, and I'm excellent in the car — windows down, ears flapping, living my best life.<br/><br/>People? LOVE them. Truly. I'm sweet, affectionate, and always ready to make a new friend. I'm easy to handle, not jumpy or mouthy, and I'm not a big barker — just a good, friendly guy who wants to be close to his people.<br/><br/>In the house, I've got great manners. I'm potty trained as long as I have access to get outside, and I'm not destructive (your shoes are safe with me). I'll play a nice game of fetch, but I'm not going to turn it into a full-time job. Treats, however? Yes please — I love all kinds and will happily show off my skills for snacks. I'm also a champ at the vet and during bath time.<br/><br/>Other dogs? Okay, so... I have what you might call “big feelings” on leash right now. I might bark or lunge when I first see a dog — not because I'm mean, but because I can get a little unsure and overwhelmed. The good news? Give me a minute and a little space, and I figure it out. I relax, I process, and then I can walk along just fine. I've even made dog friends this way! I'm already working on this in training and getting better every day. In a pack setting, I do great — no drama, no issues, just one of the crew.<br/><br/>I'm crate trained, though I'll be honest... it's not my favorite place. I'd much rather be hanging out with you.<br/><br/>I'm looking for someone who wants a partner — someone who enjoys getting out and about with me, continuing my training, and helping me build confidence. Not someone who sticks me in the backyard and hopes I figure it out (I won't), but someone who's excited to guide me, work with me, and celebrate my progress — preferably with treats.<br/><br/>I want to please you. I want to learn. And I want to be your really, really good boy.<br/><br/>Also... have you seen my face? Because I'm pretty handsome too. <br/><br/>Love,<br/>Dex <br/><br/>You like this dog...now what?
