Baxter's story...
This senior guy is a real gem. He was also living in a car with his 2 "brothers" after his owner moved here from Texas & found out his sister was deathly allergic to the animals. They would be tied outside to a fence all day & put inside a Hyundai Sonata to sleep at night. No dog should have to live like that - never mind a sweet senior who’s a real angel. Baxter is supposed to be 12 yrs. old, but you would never guess it. He looks & acts very good for his age. He appears to have lots of love yet to give. Other than the usual lumps, bumps & slowness to his step, he seems to be in great health. His hearing isn’t what it used to be, but I’m not sure yet if that is physical or him just choosing to ignore my direction.
Baxter is quite laid back & is content just to be near you, whether it’s sitting at your feet while on the computer or hanging outside while you putter around the garden. He loves to be petted & his favorite spot is right around his hip & tail area. He’s painfully thin (around 80 lbs. on his rather large frame), but has a good appetite. He doesn't seem to mind the other dogs in the house. Baxter has no issue with sharing his toys or food. If you have it in your heart to take in & care for a senior guy who just wants to live out his twilight yrs. feeling safe & loved, this is a perfect dog. Baxter is still in good health & would make a great companion to someone looking for a calm & relaxed pooch to share their life with. He doesn't require a lot in the way of exercise so he isn’t a great choice for anyone looking for a running buddy or hiking partner, but he’s ideal for someone having a lot of love to share.
2 of the 3 dogs stuck in the car were adopted, but Baxter still needs a new place. The sad news is that he was found to be heartworm positive, so we need to bring him to a specialist to see what our options are. Hopefully we can get him back on his feet in no time.

About Our Rescue Group...
All Star Pet Rescue is an all volunteer, non-profit, no-kill organization formed in April 2006. We don’t have a facility & are comprised solely of foster homes for homeless pets. Our mission is to network with other shelters & rescue groups to take in animals needing a new start. We don’t discriminate based on breed, age or health status & only place the animals in loving & responsible homes. We also work to educate the public about the benefit of spaying or neutering their animals & the usefulness of micro-chipping.

We receive no public funding & count on animal lovers to help provide the medical care & supplies necessary for the health, safety & comfort of our rescues. Monetary donations are always needed & greatly appreciated. It’s because of monies donated that we’re able to continue our work for the animals. We’re a recognized 501c3 organization so your donations are tax deductible.

Our Adoption Process...
We do have an adoption fee which goes right back to the animals for food, medical treatment, etc. Yo do have to sign a contract. We also do have certain requirements when placing our animals, some are general & some can be based on the situation.
