Dexter's Story

🚨WE’LL BE TOGETHER FUR-EVER... WHAT DOYA SAY?!🚨<br/><br/>DEXTER HERE! Dexter is a fun loving little man. He doesn't let his age slow him down, he is a fetch machine! Dexter LOVES his toys and will play with his people or by himself. He is also a little love bug once you have proven yourself worthy by playing fetch with him. He loves to snuggle up under a blanket on the couch with his people and usually at least one toy. He is fantastic with cats but not so much with other dogs, as he is not a fan of sharing his toys with them. He is doing great with potty training and when he cannot wait to go outside he will use the pee pad. He does have a mild heart murmur but it was caught at a good time and doesn’t affect him while on his medications. These slow any progression and he will likely need a few extra checkups to make sure he doesn’t need them adjusted. But otherwise he is PERFECT, just needs some extra TLC. This little one still has a lot of life left in him, just ask his toys.!<br/><br/>Name: Dexter<br/>Age: 8 Years Old<br/>Sex: Male<br/>Breed: Dachshund <br/>Weight: 9 lbs <br/>Located In: Georgetown, KY<br/>Temperament/ Energy Level: Medium Energy<br/>Recommendation for Kids: No<br/>Relationship with Dogs: No<br/>Relationship with Cats: Yes<br/>Neutered/ Spayed: Yes<br/>Crate Trained: Yes<br/>House Trained: Yes, potty pad<br/>Leash Trained: In Progress<br/>Fence Required: Yes<br/>Special Requests: Someone home more than not <br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: To apply to adopt, the application and adoption process can be found on our website https://www.kyhopefulpaws.com/adopt.<br/><br/>Please read dog's bio carefully before applying.
