A little about them

Meet Dex, a handsome, affectionate, and wonderfully goofy Border Collie who weighs 58 pounds. He is gentle, loyal, cuddly, and happiest when he has someone to love.

Dex formed a special bond with a young puppy named Navi at the shelter and even climbed over their separating fence to comfort and cuddle with him. He now thrives in foster care with other dogs and is wonderful with children. Dex is silly, playful, social, quick with puzzles, and a devoted tennis-ball fan—even though catching them is still a work in progress.

Ideal Home

Dex will thrive with a family that can provide continued exercise, enrichment, toys, puzzles, playtime, affection, and a cozy place to cuddle. He is great with dogs and children, but is not recommended for homes with cats.

Ongoing Health

Dex is vaccinated and neutered. No medical conditions or health concerns are reported.

Training & Support

Dex recently did great on a walk and was very responsive to the leash. His family should continue working with him on leash manners. He has a funny habit of walking between your legs whenever he gets the chance.
