My story

　　Meet Dexter, aka Batman! (Look at those ears!) This amazing boy is a petite 36 lb, 5-year-old Dalmatian. Dexter is blind in his right eye from an unknown, long-ago injury but that doesn’t stop him from being a happy, playful boy. He’s neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. Dexter is heartworm-positive and undergoing slow-kill treatment. Meds and support are provided by DRC. Dexter is housetrained and loves to go on car rides, play fetch, and tug of war. True to his Dalmatian spirit, he LOVES to cuddle. Dexter has never met a stranger and loves kids and adults alike! Everyone who meets him has fallen in love. Dexter gets along with other dogs but has shown some minor resource guarding. His foster has been working with him on this and he’s shown great improvement. We would recommend an experienced owner if there are other dogs in the home. No cats. Dexter is ready to find his forever home! He’s got a few edges to polish, but it’s the challenges you tackle together that build the strongest bonds and this boy has so much love packed inside his 36 lbs that we know he’s worth it.
