About Dexter
Generally.
Dexter has a great sense of humour and is very entertaining. He is also very loyal and has a great personality. Fantastic companion.
Ideal home.
Dexter will thrive in a large secure and interesting yard or on on acreage or on acreage as long there is an area with adequate fencing.
He needs regular walking and because he is very smart, plenty of things to keep him occupied. As Dexter also loves cuddles his new one will need to be affectionate.
As Dexter needs some training around other dogs he will not suit novice dog owners. He needs a firm but kind owner and be the only dog in the home.
While he is fine alone during the day for full time workers he would prefer not to be alone for lengthy periods because he is very people orientated. Dexter should be fine around considerate, older kids.
Will not suit homes where residents are very young, frail, elderly, time poor or looking for a baby sitter for a lonely dog because the owners are rarely home.
Dexter needs a new home as he is not able to remain in the owner's rental plus he is not getting enough exercise or attention.
Other dogs?
He has been pretty isolated and has not had a chance to socialise with other dogs. He has reacted to other dogs on a few occasions recently.
Cats?
No
Kids?

Exercise requirements?
Medium - playful and moderately active. Dexter needs to be walked so he can have an active mind and mental stimulation.

______________________________________
We strongly recommend you read the profile carefully where everything we know about the dog/s is outlined.
If you are interested in a dog we invite you to submit an application form so we can learn more about your circumstances. This is to ensure we match the right dog to the best home. (one form per family - not per dog) https://www.dogadoption.org.au/expression-of-interest---adoption.html
This is for the benefit of both the dog and the potential new owner(s). It also saves time and uses limited resources more effectively.
Once the essential criteria is confirmed we put you in touch with the carer for a more detailed chat with a view of meeting the dog(s).
If you decide to proceed with the adoption we make a time for a house check.
The adoption fee is then paid (there is a 2 week cooling off period.) Please note we offer a 2 week cooling off period but do not usually allow trials. See here for the difference https://www.dogadoption.org.au/can-my-dogs-new-owner-have-a-trial-period-before-deciding-to-adopt.html
Foster carers are also able to adopt foster dogs once approved.
