**Dexter is currently being fostered in the Pennington, NJ. He is available for adoption in the NJ/PA area**

Dexter's former owner would regularly take him to her mother's house for visits, even leaving him there for a few days at a time. But recently the owner dropped Dexter off and simply didn't return, telling her mother that she just didn't want Dexter anymore. While the mother loves Dexter very much, her other dogs just wouldn't accept him, causing this timid little fellow to become somewhat traumatized by those dogs. Keeping Dexter's best interest first, the mother contacted SoCo and asked if we could find him a new home.

Dexter spent his entire 8 years of life at his former home and living as an inside dog. He's always had a timid personality but isn't aggressive at all. He even gets along great with other dogs, cats and people of all ages. Because of his timid personality, though, we think a settled home without young children or a whole lot of commotion, would be best for him. And his new home should understand that while he is house trained, he may need a little time to adjust once in a new place. 

Dexter's been fully vetted with his vaccinations recently updated. He even tested negative for heartworms on April 10, 2018 and has been kept on his monthly preventatives.
