Hello! I’m DEXTER, a six month old, 16 pound rat terrier mix. I came to the Ark because my family was moving away and was worried about me in their new home situation. I am super sweet and love to play with toys. I fit right in here and have made a lot of animal and human friends! I’ve been to Community Animal Hospital for comprehensive vetting. I’ve received: a physical and dental examination, fecal analysis, flea tick and heart worm prevention. I was previously neutered before I got to the Ark. I get along great with other dogs and I am a big cuddler. I get along well with children. I am pad and kennel trained. I walk well on a leash and ride well in the car. My adoption fee, to help offset vetting costs, is $100. Hope to meet you soon!!
