Meet Dex from the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter in Wantagh, NY! This 5 year young German Shepherd mix is a sweet, playful, and affectionate dog who thrives with structure, guidance, and love. Dex is friendly and social with strangers, enjoys playtime with toys, and eagerly seeks affection from his people. He knows basic commands like sit, down, stay, speak, and paw, though he could use some reinforcement with crate and leash training. Dex has a history of food guarding, so he'll do best with an experienced adopter who understands his needs and can provide consistency, clear boundaries, and patience. With the right guidance, Dex is ready to become a loyal, loving, and devoted companion in a home with older teens.
