Dexter

Animal Profile: Dexter is an approximately 3 year old, 7 lb male Chihuahua mix that joined us from Bakersfield, California. Foster Update: Meet Dexter! This pocket-sized Chihuahua is packed with some big personality! This sweet boy enjoys many things in life, but walks, fetch, and curling up with his canine siblings make the top of the list. He loves exploring his neighborhood and meeting new dogs and humans on his walks. Dexter will also take any opportunity he gets to stop and smell the flowers. He is potty trained, and does well in his crate. He is being fostered with other dogs and he enjoys their companionship for play. Dexter does have some big opinions when it comes to getting some alone time/space at the end of the day. It's important for him to have his safe space where he can decompress, where humans and other pets will respect his boundaries. With that in mind, we are looking for a home for Dexter that can provide an enriching lifestyle but also provide some boundaries and structure. Dexter is not afraid to express his dislike when being told what to do, so it's important that he has a confident and savvy handler to advocate for him so he can be successful. (We have taken him to a few breweries with our other dogs and he has done quite well.) Dexter will also need to be placed in an adult-only home.
