Look into my eyes; hold me, scratch me, love me. My name is Dexter, and I am a 4 year old, 15 pound former stud dog from a hoarding situation. I am an American Hairless Terrier, and have no idea that I look different. I am beautiful!! I'm a low key guy, but just bring out my ball or toy and I'll fetch and show you how funny I can be. I run fast, get the ball, run fast back (so you don't forget we are playing), and drop the ball at your feet. Then I sit and smile and wiggle while you toss the ball again. I am so happy and carefree! I get along with other dogs really well and would love to have a buddy to romp with in my new home. But, if I am your only pal, I'll be very happy to snuggle in your lap and keep you warm. I am dedicated to my person. I play very softly with my mouth so I don't hurt anybody, and I "sit" and "potty" on command (as long as it isn't raining or you have deep grass that touches my naked ankles). I do well in a crate and sleep there at night. I'm even good with children! I will show my teeth at someone if I'm sitting on my persons lap and that someone wants to touch me. Ideally, I should greet everybody when I'm on the floor. When I go for walks I like to meet all the people out walking. I like to put my front paws on them and stretch so they will give me a pet and ask lots of questions about my appearance. I ride well in a car - curled up, usually - and snoozing. If you're considering adopting me please keep in mind that I need a bath every three days, and lotion to keep me supple. I can only be in the sun for short durations - with #50 sun screen. I have pink parts that will not tan, just burn, and I can get skin cancer of I burn too many times.... just like you.
