About Dexter

Meet Dexter – a handsome bull breed boy with a big personality and an even bigger zest for life! This cheeky, affectionate lad loves being involved in everything and, once he trusts you, will keep you smiling with his playful antics, wagging tail, and loving nature. Dexter is looking for an adult home where he can be the only pet. He’s lived quite a sheltered life, so the world is still full of exciting new sights and smells to explore. A patient family who can help build his confidence at his own pace will see him flourish. He’s a clever boy who responds well to positive, reward-based training and enjoys getting out and about, especially if he has a secure garden to play, sniff, and explore. Dexter can be worried by men, other dogs, and cats, and he finds being left alone difficult, so he’ll need a home where someone is around for much of the day to help him feel safe and settled. For the right family, Dexter will be a loving and devoted companion who will reward your patience with unwavering loyalty and plenty of affection. Main carers Meg and Liz say – “Dexter is a big softy who enjoys his walks and a good scratch behind the ears!” Suited to: Adults only. Other pets: No other pets.
