My story

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

Baxter is a sweet senior sir who walks great on leash and LOVES belly rubs! If you’re looking for a calm companion who will give you all the love in the world in exchange for a few scritches to his tummy, look no further!!

Baxter lived in his last home for five years after being adopted from another shelter out of state. His former people said that he was housebroken in that home and was well- behaved when left home alone. They described him as a playful and affectionate dog who loves toys.

During a short stay in a foster home Baxter was a quiet houseguest who loved sleeping on the couch or his foster’s bed. He was perfectly behaved when left home and was housebroken. He loved playing tug o’ war with his stuffed animals and was described by his foster as friendly, cuddly, and independent (though he does love attention too).

“Amazing foster dog! I would recommend anyone to foster (or adopt) him. Genuinely the sweetest best dog anyone could ask for.”

Baxter would like to meet any resident dogs before heading home and is looking a home without small dogs or other small pets. Ask to meet Baxter today!!
