Dexter and Emma German Shepherd Dog & Basenji Mix Lewisburg, PA

Meet Dexter and Emma!

A delightful pair of senior companions from Broomall, PA, whose bond is as heartwarming as their personalities are charming. Dexter, an eleven-year-old German Shepherd/Collie mix, and Emma, an eleven-year-old Basenji/American Pitbull Terrier mix, are looking for a loving new home where they can continue their journey together, bringing joy, loyalty, and love to their future family!

Dexter is a large, tan-coated gentleman who embodies obedience and devotion. Despite being blind and managing diabetes with two daily insulin shots, Dexter radiates a puppy-like joy that lights up the room. His favorite activities include leisurely walks and savoring his favorite chew toys, and he’s always up for a cuddle session with his human companions! Dexter is a true constant companion, always by your side, ready to offer his quiet presence and gentle affection. He’s a well-trained, medium-energy dog who knows commands like sit, stay, come, and go, making him an easygoing and reliable friend. Though he enjoys the occasional walk, dog parks can be a bit overwhelming for him, so he prefers a more peaceful environment. Dexter is good with other dogs and young children, and he’s unfazed by being left alone for short periods, making him a perfect fit for a calm and patient household.

Emma, on the other hand, is a medium-sized, golden beauty with a spunky spirit and a love for life! She adores her chew toys, walks, and especially her visits to the dog park, where she can meet new friends and explore the outdoors. Emma’s playful and affectionate nature shines through in everything she does, though she has a bit of a stubborn streak that only adds to her endearing character. She’s great with other dogs and young children, though babies make her a little nervous, so a family with older children would be a better match for her. Emma is independent but loves affection from her human friends, and she’s happiest in a home with a fenced yard where she can safely roam and play. While she has a form of lupus, she’s currently not on any medication, and her health is stable.

This bonded pair offers the best of both worlds—Dexter’s serene and loyal companionship alongside Emma’s playful and affectionate energy. They are ready to bring double the love, double the joy, and double the tail wags into a new loving home!
