About Dexter

Hi, I'm Dexter. I'm a large, lovable crossbreed with a heart as big as my paws. If you're looking for a loyal dog and are ready to invest time and love, plus help me be my best self with positive normal on-going guidance/training you'll be rewarded with a truly special bond. I respond beautifully to treat training, which is so helpful, so I'm told. I will be really special companion to you. And very, very easy to love. I'd like nothing better than to be part of my adoptee's daily activities. I'm inquisitive and curious - as you are working, you'll see my head tilt with a questioning expression wondering what it is you are holding and what it is for. And then we move on to what you are doing next. You'll notice a picture of my head in one of the photos on my profile - that's me being a part of office life here at SPCA. Plus, some office time. I love a game of ball in which I'm great at retrieving. I like water play. I constantly bring a smile to the staff here, with my ways. I'm one of those dogs that hears a siren going and I can't help myself - it does something to me that makes me howl along with it. I have energy and enthusiasm and learning how to have fun and figuring out the world around me. I've lived with another dog, and with careful introductions this could be a possibility for me again. I'm best suited to a home with older children who can handle my size and energy, and I'll need ongoing training, structure, and patience as I continue to learn. I'm a sweet soul just waiting for someone to show me the ropes and help me shine. If you'd like to meet me, please apply online and one of the team will be in touch soon.
