Adopt Dexter! He’s a certified good boy 🐾

Dexter is a 60-pound, approximately 1½-year-old shepherd mix with giant ears, an even bigger heart, and a lovable personality to match. Dexter began his life living on the streets and then in @friendsofeastvalley shelter where he was euth listed after being hit by a car. He has completely healed and is ready to enjoy life with you! 

Dexter is sweet, intelligent, curious, cuddly, and incredibly people-oriented. He loves being near his humans. He’s friendly with both people and dogs, playful, treat-motivated, and always ready to be part of the action. He can be a little unsure when left alone, so his future family will need to help him build confidence and learn that it’s okay when his people step away.

For a young shepherd, Dexter has a wonderfully moderate energy level. He enjoys walks and exploring and is great on leash, but he’s also happy to settle in with his people afterward. He still has plenty of puppy in him, though, and sometimes needs a little help remembering that it’s time to slow down and relax.

Dexter also has some pretty great house manners: he’s potty trained, crate trained, non-destructive, and sleeps wonderfully through the night in his crate. He’s smart, eager to learn, and very motivated by treats, making him a fun dog to continue training.

More than anything, Dexter wants a family of his very own. He’s affectionate, social, playful, and ready to be someone’s loyal sidekick. After a rough start to life, he’s ready to experience life with a family who will give him the patience, structure, companionship, and love he’s been waiting for.

And yes, those ears are even better in person. 🥹

Dexter is ready for a family of his very own. Come meet him and prepare to fall in love.

Meet Dexter formerly known as Zumi #A2266138 at East Valley Animal Shelter❤️‍🩹

Dexter was once adopted from the shelter, but sadly ended up living on the streets. He eventually returned to the shelter after being hit by a car, with an untreated wound that had become severely infected.

Thankfully, people who cared about him refused to let his story end there. Thanks to @chess_fitness and El Segundo Animal Hospital who immediately stepped up to get him to the hospital, where he received the critical medical care he needed. ❤️

After healing, Dexter found himself in hospital boarding…. but he still needed a foster and a rescue to truly have a chance at a new beginning. 

That’s where we came in. 🫶🏼
We couldn’t let this sweet boy survive everything he had been through only to be left waiting for his next chapter. Dexter is now safe with us, and we’re so excited to help him find the loving forever home he deserves. Thank you @amanda.vanceee for fostering!
His story isn’t over. It’s finally just beginning! 🤍
