My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dexter is a snuggly goofball. He's happiest with his pack, basking in the sun or lounging in my lap. He loves to explore and takes his time to sniff every plant when on walks. He likes to play tug-o-war, give kisses, & LOVES treats. He's almost 5yo.

He's socialized. He's good with other dogs, especially loves little pups, & to chase. His besties are a large Burmese doodle & a tiny French bulldog. This said, he will not back down from an aggressive dog. An experienced owner is better.

Dex is great with kids, as long as they are dog folks. He loves to give kisses and is very curious. He has never bullied a child, but his zest has knocked one or two over.

Dex sleeps most of the day. He gets a 45-60 minute walk daily, with 2 or 3 other 20 min potty walks (I don't have a yard). A few times a week we do a longer hike. I got him at 4 mos as a family pup, but after a divorce, stepkids moving out, & a new job, I don't have the time to give him the attention he deserves. He's a sweetie.
