ACSH DOG OF THE MONTH: DEXTER
November 2026
By Dexter's Mom:
"Dexter is a big ol’ sweetheart of a pitbull mix from Detroit. Originally a pack dog, he was adopted by his loving Madison Heights family in December 2018. He turns nine years old this year!
"When Dexter enters a room, it gets brighter. His big smile, his silliness, everything about him—it’s impossible to dislike this silly little guy! Even after injuring both of his back legs, he’s still as rambunctious as ever.
"Dexter’s talents include talking like Scooby-Doo, catching treats in the air, and cheering up anyone having a bad day. Be careful if he wants your food, though; he’s allergic to lots of things!
"Unfortunately, Dexter’s “wife,” Ginger, had to be put down earlier this year. He is still happy to live with his kitten “daughter,” Mika, and his adoring human family."
Dexter does light up a room, which is why everybody celebrates whenever he walks through the door at ACSH. He actually smiles. Dare we say, he is the "smiliest" dog we know. When he was here recently for a tech appointment, he looked for his favorite receptionist, Cassidy. He settled for the rest of us and his mom showed us how he plays hamburger. We're told he is a trash fiend and has even climbed trees. Cassidy says he's a flirt!
Congratulations, sweet boy! We are so excited to have you as our doggy of the month!
