DEXTER - Black Mouth Cur and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption

Meet Dexter!

If you've been searching for a best friend who's ready to join you on every adventure, Dexter is your guy! This handsome 72-pound Black Mouth Cur mix is full of love, enthusiasm, and unwavering loyalty.

Dexter is the definition of a Velcro dog—his favorite place in the world is right by his person's side. In fact, Houdini might as well be his middle name because if you're headed out the door, Dexter is convinced he should be coming too! Whether it's hiking, long walks, playing in the yard, or simply spending time together, he's happiest when he's included in the fun.

His ideal home is with an active family that can keep both his body and his bright mind engaged. Dexter thrives with plenty of exercise, enrichment, and quality time, and he'll reward you with endless affection and companionship.

Dexter gets along wonderfully with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine sibling to share his adventures with. His history with cats is unknown, so any introductions should be done slowly and under supervision.

Dexter is neutered, up-to-date on all of his vaccines and preventative care, and thanks to a generous sponsor, his adoption fee has already been covered.

If you're looking for a loyal companion who will happily be your shadow through life's biggest adventures and everyday moments alike, Dexter is ready to find the forever family he's been waiting for. If you are interested in adopting me or another homeless pet at Macomb County Animal Control, walk-in adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 10am-4pm. Dexter's adoption fee is SPONSORED

The Black Mouth Cur is a versatile and intelligent hunting dog known for its strong work ethic and loyalty. Originating in the southern United States, these medium to large sized dogs are muscular and athletic. Their distinctive feature is the black mask on their muzzle, giving them their name. Black Mouth Curs excel in various tasks such as hunting, herding, and guarding, making them ideal companions for active families looking for a versatile and devoted canine.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
