Dexter

Office Dog buddy

Hello! My name is Dexter, and I am Ellie’s little English Cream Golden Retriever pal.  My parents, Sam and Kristen adopted me because I have a heart condition and need to live a calmer life than most active Goldens. Since Sam and Kristen are empty nesters and their lives are slowing down a bit, they knew I would be perfect for them.   I had hoped to train as a therapy dog, but after my mom and dad adopted me, they found out I had a rare brain condition that makes walking in a straight line and holding my head straight really difficult .  Even though my brain is different, and I do things in a way that makes me extra special,  I LOVE people, and everyone I meet comments on how chill and happy I am.  I love to show kids that being different from others is AWESOME, and you will often see me hanging out at Connect and Restore. I am the one that walks in circles everywhere I go!
