Meet Dexter Morgan, The Sensitive Sidekick!
If your ideal Friday night involves a quiet house, a cozy blanket, and a loyal shadow, Dexter Morgan is reporting for duty. At 1 year old and 25 lbs, this little guy isn't looking for a life of adventure – he's looking for a peaceful sanctuary and a person to call his own. Dexter is a sensitive soul who thrives in a low-traffic, low-key home. He's the ultimate companion for a work-from-home professional or a retiree who enjoys a calm routine. Dexter can be a bit vocal and shy when new people come over. He's looking for a patient leader who will help him navigate introductions slowly and show him that visitors are friends, not foes. His foster is currently working on his "world-view" by taking him to parks to watch the world go by from a distance. He's making great strides! He's a professional Snuggler! While he's learning that the kennel is okay for short bursts, Dexter's true happy place is under the covers with you. He's a "velcro dog" in the best way possible, following you from room to room just to make sure you're okay. Dexter can live with dogs his size or larger! He just needs a very slow, structured introduction to feel safe. He's a goofy, gentle, and incredibly loyal boy who just needs a little extra time to trust the world.
