Dexter

Meet Dexter, also known as Bubba, the Derp Dog Extraordinaire! If floppy limbs, questionable athletic ability, and an Olympic-level plop across the house sound like your dream dog, then congratulations, your soulmate has arrived! Dexter hasn’t quite figured out how to navigate his large, noodle-like body, but he makes up for it with his spunky personality and sweet, timid heart. He’s the kind of dog who will snuggle you on his terms, then dramatically fling himself to the floor loud enough for the neighbors to hear. Dexter is vocal, goofy, and behind the derp is a sweet boy who just needs patience, confidence building, and a family who finds joy in his quirks. Because honestly, what’s life without a little ridiculousness?

Ideal Home

Dexter is looking for a patient family who can help him catch up on socialization time he may have missed. He's big-kid approved but timid with new people and loud sounds, so he'll need a home with dog-savvy children who will respect his space. He gets along well with other dogs of all sizes and has even done surprisingly well with a bearded dragon! He showed no interest in a cat he met at his previous shelter.

Ongoing Health

No specific health conditions or procedures are mentioned in Dexter's description.

Training & Support

Dexter is working on kennel training, potty training, basic commands, and leash skills. He currently enters "panic statue" mode when asked to walk and needs a slower pace. He also needs confidence building and patience to help him overcome his timid nature.
