Introducing.. Dexter!

Dexter's Story:

Dexter was a terrified girl that was rescued from a shelter in Romania. The photos that we received of her, she was wide eyed and absolutely frozen in fear.

Since arriving with us at Oakwood, she is still far too fearful to be handled however we have seen plenty of giddyness from her, especially when she has all of her doggy pals around her for confidence.

Dexter is an absolutely foody however, is still too scared of us to take treats from our hands so we are building the trust by not pressuring her into this and allowing her to take treats that are being thrown to her instead.

With other dogs:

Dexter has always lived around other dogs and we believe that it is absolutely necessary to live with another dog. Her confidence around people is so low that she is going to need a more confident dog in her life that will show her the ropes. She gets on well with all the dogs that we have mixed her with so far but the males are definitely her preferred choice, she particularly likes our youngsters Walter, Lewis and Prince <3

With cats:

Dexter has not been tested with cats. Due to her nervous nature, there is currently no safe way of testing her at the moment.

Active energy

Dexter has shown moderate energy levels since being with us but this could increase as she settles into a home

Time alone to be slowly built up

Dexter has never lived in a home before. If she was to live with another dog, we believe she'd be ok to be left for 4-5 hours but any time where he will be by himself will need to be slowly built up over time
