Our June winner for the 2024 Pets of the Year Calendar Contest, sponsored by PetMed Urgent Care, was a dog (and their human) who is very near and dear to our hearts! Read below about Woods alumni Dexter and how he found his happily ever after with our very own Community Engagement Manager, Robin Coleman! And get ready for the Pets of the Year Calendar Contest for calendar year 2025! Coming soon!
"The love of my life, my soulmate, my spirit dog. I adopted Dexter from Woods when I came in 'just looking' in 2013. Soon after adopting I started working at Woods so I could be a part of this incredible work. I’m still madly in love with Dex and Woods! Woods helps homeless animals every day and I am so proud to be a part of such a wonderful place. Dexter is a mastiff/cattle dog mix and is a big boy at 105 pounds. Of course, he thinks he is a lap dog. He’s a big sweetheart who usually has a big silly smile on his face. He is now 11.5 years and starting to slow down. Every moment is a blessing with my sweet boy. Even having animals my whole life and loving all animals, the bond I have with Dexter is like no other and I truly adore him. He is the joy of my life. As he got older, and had a hard time getting in cars, I got him a VW van of his own, complete with a personalized license plate, that we hang out in together."
