**Update: Adopted!!** Who could say no to this face? 🐶❤️ 6-year-old Dexter is 153 lbs of pure love and is looking for a home to stretch out and take up the majority (if not all!) of your whole couch. Dexter will do best in a home with limited amount of stairs due to his arthritis. He is dog-selective so he will require a meet-and-greet if you have another canine friend in the home. If you’re interested in meeting this gentle giant, stop by our Adoption Center tomorrow at 1PM when we reopen. 🐾

The six-year-old Mastiff is “153 pounds of pure love” and has been at the shelter since January 22, 2020.

His former family was forced to surrender him due to housing instability.

Due to his arthritis, he should be in a home with a limited amount of stairs.

ARL Boston told Boston 25 News Dexter found his forever home on Tuesday!
