Dexter is a gorgeous shepherd-mix puppy. At 5 months old, he was part of a family who just didn’t have time for him.

Dexter is going to need some direction, which he’ll readily accept. He’s crazy and mouthy, but he loves to please; and once he’s integrated into a family, he will be just fine. He has a propensity toward escape, so he’ll need supervision and a decent fence.

If you think he might the one for you, please fill out an application at www.pawsgh.org or call PAWS at 360-533-1141.

You can also visit PAWS of Grays Harbor during business hours at 800 W. First St., Aberdeen. They are open Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Thursdays from 2 to 6 p.m. You can also find them on Facebook.
