Finding a Forever Home for Dexter: A Loyal Border Collie Cross in Need

Dexter, a 7-year-old male Border Collie Cross (possibly mixed with Pomeranian), is a sweet, calm, and playful dog whose elderly owners can no longer keep him due to their move into a retirement home. Through our home-to-home adoption process, Dexter is looking for a loving new family to call his own. If you’re searching for a friendly, low-maintenance pup to brighten your days, Dexter might just be the one to steal your heart.

Why Dexter Deserves a Second Chance

Dexter’s story is one of love and resilience. His owners adored him, but life’s changes mean he now needs a new home. This handsome boy is healthy overall, with a few quirks that only add to his charm. He’s got a heart full of affection and a playful spirit that shines through, especially when a ball is involved! Here’s why Dexter could be the perfect addition to your life:

  • Friendly and Calm: Dexter is a laid-back dog who loves being near his people, offering cuddles on his terms.
  • Playful Pro: He’s a ball-playing expert—dribbling like a champ and forgetting his age when the game’s on.
  • Adaptable: With a touch of arthritis in his hip, he uses stairs to get comfy on the couch or bed, but it doesn’t slow him down during playtime.

What to Know About Dexter

Dexter’s personality and needs make him a great fit for the right home. We want to ensure he lands in a place where he’ll thrive. Here’s a quick rundown of what makes Dexter special:

  • Health Notes: He’s healthy aside from an arthritic hip. With few teeth left, he still munches kibble like a pro.
  • Loves Walks and Snoozes: Dexter enjoys a good stroll and an afternoon nap—perfect for someone who likes a balanced routine.
  • Social Preferences: He’s great with other dogs but not good with cats. He gets excited seeing kids but hasn’t had much interaction with them, so his reaction is uncertain.
  • Energy Level: While he can’t jump high, his playful side comes alive with a ball, making him a fun yet manageable companion.

Is Dexter Right for You?

If you’re looking for a dog who’s past the chaotic puppy stage, Dexter could be your match. He’s ideal for someone who wants a loyal friend to share quiet moments and playful bursts alike. Through our home-to-home adoption process, Dexter is still with his current owners, waiting for the right person to adopt him. Can you give this deserving boy the loving home he’s longing for?
