Dexter's Story

Dexter, a nice senior, was adopted from the shelter a while ago but unfortunately was returned due to issues with the other dogs in the family. He is low energy but LOVES company of his human family. He wants his family around him all the time. Dexter needs to be an only child so that he can get all the attention and truly enjoys people around him all the time. He enjoys walks and does relatively nicely on a leash.
