Our sweet senior Dexter may be recovering from a little cold, but that doesn’t stop him from being full of love and tail wags! This nearly 10-year-old, 76–100 lb gentleman arrived as a stray on 9/8/2025 with a known microchip—but sadly, no one came for him. With his classic black-and-tan coat and warm brown eyes, Dexter radiates calmness and affection. He’s housebroken, well-behaved, and walks beautifully on leash—a true family dog in every sense.

Why He’s the Ultimate Gentle Giant
🐾 Housebroken and polite with wonderful manners
🦴 Knows “sit” and “shake”—such a smart boy!
💛 Affectionate, loyal, and full of heart
🚶‍♂️ Easy to walk and loves being by your side
🌞 Energetic and youthful, with a bright, happy spirit

What He’s Looking For
✔️ A loving forever family ready to give him the home he deserves
✔️ A soft bed to nap on after exploring the backyard
✔️ Companionship and daily affection—he thrives on love!
✔️ Someone who will treasure his gentle, devoted soul

Dexter shouldn’t be sitting in a kennel—he should be snoozing in a cozy home, surrounded by love. This amazing senior is bursting with life, loyalty, and warmth, just waiting for someone to see the best friend he truly is. Come meet Dexter at Animal Friends of the Valleys in Wildomar, CA (ID #491414) and give this Gentle Giant the forever family he’s been waiting for! 🐶💖
