Hi Everyone,
I’m Dexter, a delectable Havanese (mix) with white, black, brown and apricot cuteness who is 18 months young (or do I mean old?). While the shelter did me no favors when they shaved me, my hair is growing in nicely and I’m still managing to steal hearts with my sweet personality. My foster Mom says her photos don’t do me justice — but when you meet me my happy disposition, loving and playful nature comes shining through!
Did I also mention that I am a lucky pup? Let’s start with why I am so lucky. Until recently I was living on the street, scavenging for food and safety. Then I found myself in the ‘shelter’ where I was surrounded by a lot of barking and noises that scared me. But then I became a FurKid! That meant I was safe and Boy! was I relieved—and lucky!
Mom says I’m an energetic, friendly, loving and smart little guy, capable on standing on my hind legs for an impressive amount of time. Dad says I love to play with my toys and am getting quite good at chasing the ball and (drum roll please!) returning it. I’m also very interested in having new experiences and there are lots of them for me every day: like seeing birds and bikes – and strollers. I have already met and like a 5 year old little human. Babies also intrigue me so I may bark at first but it’s because I don’t know what they are or if they want to play.
I get along with everyone and little pups like me are my favorites. Everyone can become my new best friend! Mom says I’m a perky and active little guy who is very smart and likes to learn. For example, I’m very good about going potty. I haven’t had any accidents since my foster mom is very good with my routine and commands. While I don’t have a doggie door like some FurKids I know I could master that pretty fast. I also know the ‘Come’ command already. Mom and I are working on ‘wait’ (so we can go out the front door together.) That’s the next one on my list!
I try to do lots of things that make Mom smile. How’s that for wanting to please? I love my walks! Of course, we can’t forget the ‘going for a ride in the car’ behavior. Well, let me tell you there is nothing more fun than riding in the car!
If you have a heart for an energetic, active and happy pup then we should definitely meet. I’ll make you proud of all that I can become now that I’m a FurKid. So if you want to be a super hero, please ask for me.
Cuddles and Snuggles,
Deserving and Delightful Dexter
There were three of us (two boys and 1 girl) in my family, all adorable and adoptable! Our Mom is a terri-chi and Dad was a poodle mix so you could say we are mixed with cuteness.
Although I am young I am already sleeping through the night and learning to be housebroken. (Mom says that means I know to go outside to ‘do my business’ most of the time. For as young as I am that’s a great start!)
I like other dogs and even get along with those creatures called ‘cats.’ Everyone who meets me says I’m sweeter than sweet. It’s easy ‘cause I’m happy to be given love and attention. (Mom says a sweet, smart and gentle furkid like me would be welcome in any home- and on any lap!)
I have big brown eyes (that smile) and a great personality to match. I dance on my hind legs to show my joy. There is no doubt that I’m a feminine and happy little girl with a great big heart! And did I mention I’m a cuddler and a lover, adoring and affectionate – and, guess what? I’m looking for my forever home.
I’m happiest when there are people around to love! Mom says I’m the best companion you could ever ask for and am always happy as long as I can be close to my people.
There is no doubt that I’m a feminine and happy little girl with a great big heart! Mom says that I’m an adorable and sweet pup — with so much love to give! If my whole day could be spent playing and then snuggling, and then playing and then snuggling, I would be the happiest FurKid on earth. How does that sound to you? If it sounds good, please complete our application and ask for Nikki?
Everyone who sees me says I’m just as cute as I can be! I’m the most vocal of my siblings. I like to have them around as they help me to feel more confident.
There are three of us (two boys and 1 girl) and we are adorable and adoptable! Our Mom is a terri-chi and Dad was a poodle mix so you could say we are mixed with cuteness. Please be sure to complete an adoption application – so we can get to know one another. You can meet me now — and I can go home with you in early October. In the meantime I will continue to learn as much as I can and get ready for my forever home.
While I’m half the size of my brothers I am fearless — and will take them on in a wrestling match any day! Mom says I’m both bold and confident. I already know that I want to explore the world, love neck and belly rubs and being petted is my specialty!
