Dexter - Labrador Retriever and Dachshund Dog for Adoption in Largo, Florida

Hi - My name is Dexter.

I LOVE: people, getting pets, and pretty much everything about life. I’m a happy 7-month-old puppy who always seems to have a smile on my face and a wagging tail.

I KNOW: I’m still a puppy, so I’m working on my manners. I may be low to the ground, but that doesn’t stop me from jumping up to ask for pets when I get excited!

IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE: cheerful, affectionate, and always happy to see you, I’m your guy. I’d love a family who can help me keep learning while enjoying all my puppy enthusiasm.

I AM SPECIAL BECAUSE: my pictures might make me look bigger than I actually am! I’ve got a Lab-like face on short little legs, and I’m as cute as can be. Good things really do come in small packages, especially when they come with this much happiness.
