Why I need a new home

My story

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


I've known Dexter since about 2016. He's currently about 11 years old, but doesn't seem a day over 5. Because of circumstances outside of anyone's control, Dexter's owner can no longer care for him. While staying with me, he has been exposed to chickens, cats, pigs, horses, little dogs and bigger dogs and has had no issues with any of them. He's very playful, and gets around great, other than I notice a little stiffness when he's going up stairs. He's healthy, though slightly overweight so I've been restricting calories a bit.
