Sweet Royal is now Dexter and he's doing wonderful! Dexter is loving his new dad and his home environment. Dexter struggled while in foster care with us - he's proof that with all our best intentions, we just were not the best environment for him. We don't take this personal and we did right by Dexter in making sure to find him an environment that works for him.
Dexter truly needed a home with a large fenced in area where he could work off his anxiety. He now has that with his own fully fenced acre of property to explore and patrol.

Dexter will likely always lean towards being a dog that startles with indoor noise but, his dad is continuing the work of counter conditioning and desensization and they too are making a lot of progress. What's great about Dexter's new indoor home is that it's not a huge home & it's just him and his dad. So, for the most part the noise in the home is predictable which is helping a lot.

Here's a great video of Dexter exploring and hunting in his property!
And you can see that he sure loves his new dad as he comes a running
