My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet this handsome sweet guy named Baxter! He was surrendered by his owner on January 4, 2024 when they had 3 dogs and 2 were bonded and Baxter and 1 of the other dogs were not getting along. He has been super sweet and has been none reactive to other dogs in kennel beside him or when going in and out to play or enjoy the outdoors. He’s a gentle giant who is 8 years young, current on shots, house broken, neutered, and missing the comfort of a loving home and love from his human (s). Walks well on the leash and deserves a loving FOREVER home to enjoy his “golden years” soaking up all the loving and TLC. Adores every second he gets to spend time with his human friends. Cuddling is his favorite. Will make someone a great pup of given a fair chance. Maybe you’re the perfect loving person who is just right for sweet Baxter!

We are a non-profit orginization relying on donations. We do have a contract witht the county to provide shelter for strays brought in. We have limited space but try to get our animals back to thier families and if that can not be accomplished we work hard on finding them new homes.
