About Dexter
Meet Dexter, an endearing Dachshund with a gentle heart and a world of potential. In his own time, Dexter reveals his sweet and affectionate nature once he's warmed up to you. Shy at first, he does best in an environment where he can feel secure and build his confidence. Dexter seems more frightened of men so would need someone that is willing to work with him.
While Dexter is still learning the ropes, he's open to forming bonds with other small dogs his size, making him a good companion candidate for those with existing furry friends. At the shelter, he's demonstrated an innocent curiosity for cats, coexisting well with those who aren't prone to dart away quickly. With the right guidance, Dexter could blossom into a perfect little companion. He is still working on mastering the art of walking on a lead, but with patient training, he'll soon learn to enjoy strolls by your side.
Dexter would thrive in a quiet home where he can relax and take in the serene surroundings. His new family should be patient and understanding, as Dexter will need gentle encouragement to bring him out of his shell. This little Dachshund really just needs a safe and loving environment to see his bright personality shine.
If you take a liking to Dexter, you’ll find a loyal companion who, once comfortable, will shower you with dachshund-sized affection. Consider opening your heart and home to this charming little guy, and watch as his trust in you blossoms into companionship that'll last a lifetime.
Medical notes
Dexter has slight Carpal Valgus (feet turning) in both front legs.
Adoption details
Our adoption process is easy. You will receive a application for the animals you are interested in. Please full that in and send it back to us.
Even though you may be first to message, this does not always guarantee you will be chosen to adopt. By no means do we run on a "first in, first served basis". We aim to ensure that our animals are adopted into the most suitable home for them and the new family.
With all our animals, we go on what our vet has told us and what we believe the breed and age to be. We never guarantee the breed or age but take the best educated guess.
Please note: Our shelter is located in the Snowy Mountains. We are a 5 hour drive from Sydney and Melbourne and 2 to 3 hours from Canberra.
