This big boy is a Golden Retriever/Lab mix, who was adopted from CGRR a little over 3 years ago.  Dexter is a product of the tough times, as his owners lost their home and had to move....thus they had to bring Dexter back.  Dexter is now 5-6 years old and has had a little too much "lovin" - as he weighs around 98 pounds!   He spent much of his time outside, as he has the Lab energy and the family told us he seemed happier having the run of  their property.  Dexter needs someone who is dog savvy, and will work with him, to teach him he does not have to take charge.   He is a dominant male, and seems to do better with females.....but he does need a home with no cats.  Dexter loves his Kong toys and he enjoys playing fetch, as well as going for walks and hikes.  He is a strong boy and he walks better with a doggie back pack on. He did quite a bit of hiking with his previous family and he had three boys who kept him busy.  We have some regular volunteers that spend time with the dogs. and everyone loves Dexter! He can be quite the clown, and he is all about the attention!  Dexter wants to please, and he listens quite well.   He just needs someone to work with him regularly, and teach him what is acceptable and what is not. We want Dexter to know the good life of being a house dog.  He loves attention, and as long as he gets some good exercise, we feel he will soon enjoy the good life of being inside.   His adoption fee will include a couple of lessons in your home with Steve, as we want this boy to get off to a good start in his new home!
