Dexter

Meet Dexter! Dexter came into our care as a stray from the community. This happy, goofy, rowdy boy is ready to light up your life with his wide, friendly smile and wiggling tail! Dexter has not been with us for very long and although his past is unknown to us, we do know that he is an excitable, silly, sweet boy who has a lot of love to give (and not a lot of spacial awareness!) Large and in charge, Dexter is eager to make friends with everyone that he meets. Dexter just wants what any dog wants.. a warm bed, tasty treats and lots of love from his favorite people! Searching for a dog to fill your heart and your home? Come meet Dexter at HSCC and see if he could be your new best friend! Dogs: Dexter is dog social with large dogs and could join a home with dogs who are his size or larger! Have a dog at home who sounds like a good fit? Come meet Dexter at HSCC and if it's a good match, we will arrange for you to return with your canine companion(s) prior to heading home! Cats: We have no history about Dexter with cats. Children: We have no history about Dexter living with children. Due to his rambunctious personality, he may be most successful in a home with teens and adults.
