About Dexter

Dexter is a sweet but anxious Kelpie X who is learning to navigate the world one gentle pawstep at a time. With the support of dedicated staff, training, and behavior medication, he now greets familiar faces with cautious optimism and is beginning to build trust through patience and consistency.

This special boy thrives on positive reinforcement and is very food motivated, which makes training a fun and rewarding process. While toys aren't his thing (yet), he loves a good sniffari and time in the yard.

Dexter's ideal home is a quiet, rural property with plenty of space to explore. He may also benefit from a calm, confident dog friend who can help model relaxed behavior, though slow introductions will be important. He's shown some herding tendencies during play, so a dog-savvy home would be ideal.

Dexter may have had a rough start, but with the right person, he's ready to write a new chapter filled with trust, quiet adventures, and the comfort of a home that truly sees him.
