Dexter

My name is Dexter and I am a nine year old male kelpie. Don’t let my age fool you – I am full of beans. I’m ready for a new start in life where I can be someone’s very own best mate.

Foster Mum calls me the blonde bombshell but I like to think of myself as more of a surfer dude. I love the beach and I love to swim. I also love to play tug and chasey. Don’t ask me to play fetch though – I’m hopeless at that.

If you can give me a new forever home, I can offer you lots in return. I can make you always feel welcome when you come home. I can go for drives with you on outings to keep you company. I can put my head on your lap to tell you that you are loved. I can be your reason to have a daily walk in the great outdoors. I can be your friend and faithful companion, and I will make your house feel like a home.

Let’s be honest – livestock are not the best to have around me although with time I might adjust. I’m really good with cats though. In my foster home I have been spending day time outside very contentedly and at night time I bunker down inside. Foster mum reckons I’d be more than happy to move inside full time if you would like me to be closer to you. I am respectful of the rules and follow direction really well. I am super friendly to every single person who I have met. I’ve slept through the night without the slightest hassle while I’ve been staying here.

Kids are unfamiliar to me but I reckon I’d do really well with older ones. I’m a fairly big lad and it’s quite likely that I’d accidentally knock over those little ones. I’m not posh, but I do consider myself to be above just plain o’ kibble day in, day out. Like Manu says ‘where is the sauce?’ When it comes to other dogs, I just want to be friends with everyone.

I’m a typical kelpie dog, very loyal, determined to be someone’s very own best mate. Ideally, in the midst of a new family that is familiar and confident with dogs like me is where I want to be. I can be a bit of a softie at times, so it’s important that my new family understands my need for reassurance and can give back to me the love and loyalty that I will give to them. I’m an all round sweet guy, so if you’ve read this far, you must be interested. Please enquire about me so that I can get this happy new life happening.
