Description:

Meet Dexter!

Dexter is a beautiful, sweet, little 'tank'! He is solid and strong with a capital 'S' - hahaa! He is so precious and laid back. He doesn't really care what kind of toys he has to play with as long as you throw them. He enjoys retrieving. He really just likes to play his people instead of other dogs but hey dogs can’t throw his toys for him :c)

Dexter is a gem at walking and car riding - and he loves both! He doesn't need to walk long, but will ride in the car forever. He does not typically let you know when he has to go out; he has exceptional bladder control. If Dexter really needs to go out he will approach someone, sit up and wave his paws - it's sooOo cute!

He listens well to instructions - leaves the room when told and stays. Dexter waits patiently for his food dish. He prefers to sleep in a dog bed as he enjoys his space.

Dexter loves being around people but he also loveshis space. He prefers not to be bothered when having me time. He will sit and cuddle some...with my husband forever....then retreat to his bed (day or night.) He enjoys his naps!

Dexter does follow me when I am home yet he is never in the way or under my feet. He allows himself to be moved but doesn’t care for being picked up unless necessary.

Dexter would enjoy an adult only household. He would not be a good match if someone was looking for a dog to play with another pet, but would be fine if there were other pets in the house. He is a great dog and fun to have around. The perfect mix of cuddle and independence.

When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
