Handsome Dexter is 5 years old and AKC registered. He has a very commanding presence and has the classic look of the breed. He along with 8 other Doberman were surrendered by a local breeder. Dexter had been living outdoors with only a crate for shelter. He is working on being comfortable in a home setting. Dexter would do best with another female canine to mentor him. He is working on potty training skills, has the crate skills down pat, and will be fully vetted very soon. Please apply if you would be willing to foster this guy and begin his healing, or apply to adopt him and give him the wonderful life he so deserves!
