Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Say hello to adorable Dexter. He is a 6 year old, 6 pound sweet Yorkie boy. Dexter is being fostered in Lakeland, FL. Dexter’s adoption fee is $350
UPDATED BIO 01/30/2018: Dexter has been in his foster home for only a couple of days and he is doing just great. Foster mom said that he is well-trained on so many levels.Because he needs to be slowly acclimated to the rest of the resident geriatric doggie pack and kitty cats, he has been staying in a puppy playpen with his crate in it for naps. When foster mom says “crate”, he goes right in with the door open. Smart, huh?
Dexter enjoyed playing hide-and-seek with one of the many lizards outside, but if you say "drop it" - he does. Wow. He doesn’t appear to be a barker or a chaser, and even though the kitty cats in the home are larger than him, he is curious and just follows them around the house. When at the vet’s office for his updated vaccinations, he was very good-natured and seemed to enjoy all the attention.
Because of his small size, Dexter cannot go to a home with children under the age of 13.
Stay tuned for more information on this very sweet and adorable little boy.
Initial bio 1/28/18: This absolutely adorable little guy is Dexter. He arrived at his foster home today and he is just as sweet as can be. Dexter is now in his 3rd home in his short life. Since he was moved and left alone so often he was never taught proper puppy manners. He needs time to work with his foster mom and dad and learn those skills. He will learn to bark at appropriate time, to not chew things that he shouldn't, and to do all his business outside.
Dexter will need to see the vet as soon as he can. He needs all his vaccinations and his neuter. He may also need a dental. This fellow will have to be in his foster home a little while, as his foster parents teach him good doggie manners.
Because of his small size Dexter cannot go to a home with children under the age of 13.
Please come back soon and follow Dexter's progress as he learns his skills.
