Dex

My story

Meet Dex! Dexter, or Dex, is a handsome mixed breed with an estimated birtday of 10/19/23, and is looking or his forever family! Dex is currently living with a wonderful foster mom and foster sister, so he is available by appointment only. Here's some of the wonderful things his foster has to say about him!  "Dexter was found lost and alone with a heavy chain around his neck. He’s a high energy hound mix that is new to the joys of life and it shows! He is  50lbs of love and goofiness in action. He’s house trained, but still has a couple of manners to learn like no jumping and no pulling on the leash. He lets me know when he needs to go outside by touching the door handle. He’s so smart!  He would do best in a home with a fenced yard, active family, and another dog to play with. He acts like a puppy, but he does not destroy things and is left out in the house with my dog when I'm not there. He has excellent meal time manners - he always sits and waits for his bowl (or treat).  Dex is great with my dog Bindi, an alpha female. He plays great with her, and takes direction/correction well from her.  He loves his crate when the door is open, but like most hounds he does not like the door to be closed. Has a high prey drive - so no chickens or small livestock. He isn't aggressive, he just enjoys the chase. Dex has done sessions with a local trained, who loves Dex and has offered a free training session with his new forever family. I recommend older kids (7+) only because he hasn’t quite mastered no jumping." Dex is fully vetted, and will be microchipped upon adoption. He has done well with every dog we've introduced to, but as always if you have any others in the family a meet and greet is always required.
