Dexter

Great Pyrenees

4 years, Male, Extra Large

Dexter is a 3-year-old Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix who is ready to find a family to call his own. This gentle giant was surrendered due to a change in his family’s living situation & becoming protective over his family. Now, he is searching for a kind-hearted home where he can feel safe, loved, and cherished.

Though Dexter is a bit shy when meeting new people, once he trusts you, he will shower you with affection, offering all the hugs and cuddles a dog can give! At heart, he is a big, soft teddy bear who just wants to be close to his loved ones. Because he is a little timid, Dexter would thrive in a calm, peaceful environment where he can take his time adjusting and building confidence at his own pace. 

He previously lived with a cat & another dog, but we would definitely hold meet & greets with any other current dogs. He would be extremely happy as your one and only pet. He prefers a home without small children but would do ok with older dog-savvy kids 

Breed experience not required but highly preferred. He can get very protective of his family so his ideal home would be a place without frequent visitors and a lot of space to run. We will cover the cost of a few training sessions with Dexter after adoption. 

On walks, Dexter loves to sniff everything he can, so he is a curious companion. He could use a bit of a refresher when it comes to leash manners, as he tends to get a little excited about all the wonderful scents. With some gentle training, he’ll be walking like a pro in no time!

Dexter is crate-trained and house-trained, so he is well-behaved indoors. He enjoys lounging around but is always up for a quiet stroll or a bit of outdoor playtime if the mood strikes. He is the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a calm, affectionate dog with a loving nature.

If you are looking for a loyal friend who will offer endless love and devotion, Dexter could be the one for you. Come meet this sweet boy and see how he fits right into your family – he is waiting for his second chance at happiness!
