Dexter's Story

Dexter is a big, sweet senior with the gentlest soul. He’s a friendly, laid-back guy who’s happiest just hanging out by your side. A true easygoing companion, Dexter enjoys short strolls where he can sniff and take in the world at his own pace.<br/><br/>He thinks vet visits are a little scary, but he handles them like a champ with the help of a muzzle and a generous serving of peanut butter. At home, he’ll nudge your hand for forehead scratches and loves gently tugging on a stuffie until he’s ready for a nap.<br/><br/>Dexter is the perfect mix of calm, cuddly, and charming—a senior dog ready to bring warmth and quiet joy into a loving home.
