A dignified eleven-year-old German Shepherd/Collie mix from Broomall, PA, whose spirit radiates the same youthful joy as a puppy wrapped in a gorgeous tan coat. Dexter is the epitome of loyalty and obedience, a gentle giant who knows his commands—sit, stay, come, and go—like the back of his paw! His intelligence and training make him a joy to have by your side, and he's always eager to show off his good manners.
Despite being a senior, Dexter’s zest for life is boundless! He might be blind and living with diabetes, requiring two insulin shots a day, but that doesn’t stop him from embracing every day with a wagging tail and a playful attitude! Dexter's insulin costs approximately $25 per bottle, lasting about three weeks. This medication is most affordable when purchased at local stores or certain retailers.
Dexter loves nothing more than a good chew toy or bone and relishes his daily walks. While dog parks might be a bit overwhelming for him, a quiet stroll through the neighborhood or some quality time lounging in the yard are more his speed. Dexter’s calm and composed demeanor shines through, especially when he's left alone for short periods—he’s perfectly fine and content on his own, though he’ll be overjoyed when you return.
Dexter’s blindness hasn’t dimmed his spirit. In fact, it’s made him an even more loving and constant companion! He may not see, but he navigates life with a remarkable sense of trust and love, making him a wonderful companion who’ll stay by your side through thick and thin. He’s friendly to strangers, good with young children, and neutral towards other dogs—he’s the type who’s happy just being around, soaking up the companionship without demanding the spotlight.
His ideal new family would be patient, loving, and understanding of his special needs, embracing his daily routine and appreciating his steadfast loyalty. Dexter is ready to bring endless joy and unwavering companionship to a new home, and he’s eagerly waiting to meet a pet parent who can match his gentle, loving nature.
Great news for potential adopters, Dexter’s adoption fee has been sponsored by the family!
Are you the one who can give Dexter the forever home he needs? If so, he’s ready to become your most loyal friend and constant companion. Contact us at adopt@joyfulpets.com to meet Dexter today!
