Pet of the Week for August 2, 2025
Dexter is one of the most fun, perky, adorable, heartwarmingly rambunctious puppies you’ll come across. From his stand-up ears to his sparkly personality, he’s going to win your heart.
[1]Earlier this week he accompanied his incredible fosters to FAAS’s soon-to-open new campus, the FAAS Animal Medical Services & Training (FAMST) Campus [2], to help welcome volunteers from the Warriors and the Valkyries as they put the finishing touches on FAMST’s classroom/meeting room. It will be known as the Warriors Companion Court Presented by PetMeds.
He was a great puppy, socializing with everyone, being ridiculously cute, and winning the heart of one of the Warriors volunteers to the point where she ran after him when he left in order to give him one more snuggle.
Dexter’s not going to be a big boy. He started out super tiny and at about 5 months old he’s not showing any signs of growing into the large-breed look he has.
[3]He’s crate-trained and loves life–and he’s looking for someone to share his puppy happiness. He’s ready to learn, love, and become the best adventure pup you’ve ever had.
If you’d like to meet him, please call Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter at 510-337-8565 to set up a puppy date.
