Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Baxter will be at adoption event this Sunday April 23 at Petco in Southington from 11-3pm
Our love has changed, It's not the same, And the only way to say it, Is say it. It's better. I can't concede, This way I feel,
For all the time we spent together forever Just gets better. See what I'm trying to say is: You make things - better And no matter what the day is, With you here - it's better. - from 'Better' by Tom Baxter
And our sweet adventurous Baxter is indeed looking for that special person or family who will forever be the best part of his life. Baxter is an 18 month old black lab mix weighing 60 lbs. of full fledged fun. Baxter is house and crate trained. He is pretty good on leash but could use a little more training. He absolutely LOVES water. We think he might have been a fish in a previous life. If you throw it he'll fetch it in true lab fashion. He has fun with other dogs but is probably a bit too energetic for finicky felines. Baxter will need an active family as he is no couch potato. He is energetic and on the go so he would make a great hiking, running, or swimming companion. Exercise is a must for this big sweet goof ball. Baxter loves everyone he meets and he loves kids but because of his size and energy level we think non toddlers would be better suited with this happy boy. Baxter is already neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, current on preventatives, and micro chipped. This big lovable boy loves life and wants to live it to the fullest. He's waiting for the ones who will love him forever and always. If you are a fun loving person looking to find that special pooch who will celebrate life, love, loyalty, and friendship for many years to come then Baxter would love to meet you...cuz life is always better with a fun loving friend.
