About Dexter

Hey there! My name is Dexter. I am a 4-year-old, 76 lb spayed female. I am already housetrained and crate-trained, though I am an old soul at heart so I will just take a deep nap while you're gone and do not need to be crated when left home alone. I love all the pets, scratches, and snuggles from my foster parents and spending time with them! I can be avoidant at first meeting with new people. I have done well with men, women, and older children after some time to warm up! My foster parents adore me and say I am the cutest, sweetest thing they've ever seen (I'm not sure it's that serious, but whatever makes them happy). I have done well with laid back, large male dogs and would enjoy a well-matched companion in my home! I tolerate other large female dogs, but I'll be honest they're not my favorite. Little dogs and cats are a no go for me. I haven't shown interest in toys or playing, but my foster home has designated me the Queen of Naps™ so I would love to have access to plenty of cozy places to help me maintain my royal title. I ride well in the car once I'm lifted in and I only pull slightly on leash. I have an old break in my pelvis that had healed poorly at some point prior to my entering rescue. As a result, I have an off gait and take daily medication for pain management. I am well-managed, though I will need ongoing monitoring throughout my life. I will need regular low-impact exercise to keep me healthy and mobile! I am a sweet, sassy, goofy girl who is ready to find my family—could that be you?

Visit www.echodogs.org/available-dogs to see more of our dogs. Transportation for the adopted dog IS available. Remember, we are an all-volunteer foster rescue organization - we DO NOT have a physical shelter to visit. Our minimum adoption donation is $350. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations and micro-chipped. Puppies under 6 months old may not be spayed/neutered. This would be the responsibility of the adopter at their own expense. Proof of spay/neuter will be required!
