Description

Dexter is a sweet, goofy 9-year-old Boxer/Bulldog mix (65 lbs) who’s equal parts couch snuggler and fetch enthusiast. He loves people most of all and would happily trade solo toy time for a human throwing the ball instead—though he’ll entertain himself in a pinch. In a series of bad breaks...Dexter recently got a bit too enthusiastic during backyard ball time and permeated his eye. The vet said it had to go, so he's now got a permanent wink going on. Honestly? We think it makes him look even cuter!   Quick facts about Dexter: 9 years 65 lbs Boxer / Bulldog mix Housetrained & crate trained Neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative Recent dental care completed Good with dogs and kids (older, respectful preferred); no cats Knows sit, stay/wait, come, down, and more Walks well on leash Loves fetch, treats, and snuggles Dexter enjoys canine friends but would also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. He does best with a fenced yard where he can play fetch and then head inside for a well-earned couch nap. After a day of adventure, he’s all about winding down with his humans and a good Netflix session.
