Dexter's Story

Dexter is a sweet, goofy 9-year-old Boxer/Bulldog mix (65 lbs) who’s equal parts couch snuggler and fetch enthusiast. He loves people most of all and would happily trade solo toy time for a human throwing the ball instead—though he’ll entertain himself in a pinch.<br/><br/>In a series of bad breaks...Dexter recently got a bit too enthusiastic during backyard ball time and permeated his eye. The vet said it had to go, so he's now got a permanent wink going on. Honestly? We think it makes him look even cuter!<br/><br/>Quick facts about Dexter:<br/><br/>9 years<br/>65 lbs<br/>Boxer / Bulldog mix<br/>Housetrained & crate trained<br/>Neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative<br/>Recent dental care completed<br/>Good with dogs and kids (older, respectful preferred); no cats<br/>Knows sit, stay/wait, come, down, and more<br/>Walks well on leash<br/>Loves fetch, treats, and snuggles<br/><br/>Dexter enjoys canine friends but would also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. He does best with a fenced yard where he can play fetch and then head inside for a well-earned couch nap.<br/><br/>After a day of adventure, he’s all about winding down with his humans and a good Netflix session.<br/><br/>To learn more or apply, contact ali@doggieharmony.org<br/><br/>See Dexter's Videos to Get to Know Him<br/><br/>Training: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/DTMYniyrDmJqV4BY/<br/><br/>With Dogs:<br/><br/>https://youtube.com/shorts/s50zqB8XoTs<br/><br/>https://youtube.com/shorts/OxRzjbUOVXw<br/><br/>Playing in the yard: https://youtu.be/mqxHcfH5Ryc<br/><br/>To ensure the best match for pets and adopters, we ask that you complete an Adoption Application at www.doggieharmony.org (click “Forms”). Once approved, we’ll arrange a home visit with the pet. As a donation-funded rescue, an adoption fee is requested to help cover basic veterinary care.
