Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hello everyone. My name is Baxter. I'm adorable. I'm happy... and I am short.
Not as short as a Dachshund because I am a mix. But you know when people who have about a 10 month old puppy say...I wish they would stay this size forever....well I am that size...forever.
I was hoping that since I have lab in me I would have grown a bit taller by now but the Dachshund in me said no to that.
I recently came all the way from the state of Alabama and here I am in foster care in Michigan. I'm sharing a foster home with 2 black labs that are a bit older than I am so it's nice and relaxed here. I have been enjoying the sunshine in the backyard and just listening to Kenny G as I am working on my tan.
I am VERY shy. I don't really know why but when people move too fast I get scared and I back away. I wouldn't make it in a home with little ones because they move faster than I am comfortable with and sometimes they like to grab and I don;t care for that at all. However if you happen to have a playful pet in the home already, I will be happy to get the party started with some good running and walking together.
I have an Alabama temperament meaning I like to stop an smell the roses when I'm walking or even during my day in foster care. My foster mom said I am a very easy foster boy to have around.
I will need a completely fenced in yard. My first night in foster care I saw how kind the labs and my foster mom are I decided this is a good place to be so I'm staying put.
Baxter is just learning what toys are and beginning to play with them. Baxter is also beginning to learn what a gentle touch is and becoming less and less afraid. Confident in some ways and still learning in others but progress is seen everyday. Baxter is a very easy walker too.
Baxter is a 2 year old Yellow Lab/Dachshund mix, 33 pounds, UTD on vaccinations, housebroken, neutered and micro chipped. He will need a home with patience and a family that will give him time and space to come around on his time.
If you would like to meet Baxter, please call Chris at 586 563 4127 or email homes4angels@yahoo.com for a short application.
