Dexter
Meet Dexter – A Gentle Soul
Dexter is a 10-month-old pup with a sweet and curious nature and beautiful eyes (one blue and one brown). He loves to explore the world around him and takes in every new sight and sound with quiet wonder. While he can be cautious when experiencing new things, his confidence grows each day with patience and gentle encouragement.
Dexter walks beautifully on a leash and is continuing to improve with his basic commands. He’s crate trained, making it easy to step out for a bit knowing he’s safe and comfortable. Once Dexter begins to trust you, he loves to stay close and enjoys the comfort of your presence.
This thoughtful, loving boy is looking for a calm and caring home where he can continue to learn, grow, and feel secure. He’s good with other dogs and respectful children over the age of 8. If you’re ready to open your heart to a loyal companion who will reward your kindness with deep, steady affection, Dexter may be the perfect match for you.

Your Next Steps
Adoption Process
1. Complete an Adoption Application form.
2. Applicants are screened and reviewed together with the dog’s foster. If your application is selected, you will receive an invitation to meet with CHEW by video or phone call. If all looks like you are a good match for the dog, next comes the Meet & Greet.
3. Bring anyone who will live with the dog to the Meet & Greet, including any other dogs in the household. Typically, these meetings are held in a public park or pet store in Gig Harbor, WA.
4. CHEW’s adoption coordinator will conduct reference checks. CHEW will also conduct a home safety check.
5. If approved, you’ll meet again to sign the adoption paperwork, pay any fees, and take home your new furry friend!
Adoption Fees
Most of the dogs have been spayed or neutered (unless under the age of 6 months), vaccinated, checked for other health issues and microchipped. Adoption fee is $500.
