He’s got the zoomies, the smarts, and the jokes covered. #AdoptDexter” Introducing Dexter – Class Clown, Star Student, and Professional Best Friend Once on the PG County urgent list, Dexter (formerly Yamaha) nearly ran out of time—but LOVEPAWS gave him the second chance he deserved. Now he’s traded in that “urgent list” for the “Dean’s List,” and he’s ready to meet his forever family. Dexter is about 1–3 years old, a pittie mix and 100% goofball. He’ll keep you laughing with his silly antics, but don’t be fooled—he’s smart as a whip and loves showing off everything he’s learned. ✨ Fresh out of a month-long professional training program, Dexter now: ✅ Walks like a gentleman and heels on command ✅ Knows “sit,” “place,” and waits at doorways like a polite little scholar ✅ Is crate trained, house trained, and (we’re pretty sure) secretly proud of it ✅ Loves to play—because brains and zoomies can definitely coexist Living with a foster family, Dexter continues to learn and patiently waits for his forever people to come knocking. His foster mom says he’s wonderful with other dogs and never turns down a good play session. Best part? Even though he loves doggie friends, he won’t drag you down the block to meet them—so you can skip the weightlifting class and still enjoy a stroll. He’s full of joyful “young dog energy,” so he’s looking for an active home where adventures—hikes, car rides, or exploring new places—are part of the deal. Because of his training, Dexter is eager to keep learning, which makes bonding with him extra rewarding. He’s not just smart, he’s fun to train. (Thinking about dog sports? Dexter’s already polishing his résumé.) As long as he has fun activities to keep his mind busy, he’s the perfect mix of playful and well-mannered: a dog who can romp outside and then settle politely inside when asked. When he’s not showing off his skills, you’ll find him rolling in goofy bliss or melting you with those soulful eyes before curling up for snuggles. If you’re looking for a loyal, laugh-out-loud funny, smart-as-can-be companion who will keep you active and fill your home with joy (and maybe steal your spot on the couch), Dexter is your guy. From “urgent list” to “best friend list,” Dexter is living proof of what love, training, and a second chance can do. All he needs now is you. Interested in adopting? Of course you are!
