My personality

My story

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

Calling all water lovers, we've got a friend for you!  Baxter here loves to play underneath hoses and in kiddie pools and he's sure to entertain you with his puppy antics.  Baxter is a 8 and a half month (as of Aug.) blue heeler pittie mix.  He currently weighs about 40 pounds and we think he's probably full grown and will stay around his current size.  Baxter gets along well with other dogs of all sizes (check out the video of him and his foster siblings playing).

Baxter is your typical puppy who loves to alternate between playing and napping during day and then he's ready to snuggle with you at night.  He hasn't met a toy that he doesn't like, and he really enjoys chewing on benebones.  He's been neutered and is up to date on his vaccinations.  He is also potty trained and knows how to use a doggie door.  He's currently living with a foster in Texas but is ready to find his forever family and will come to the NJ area once he finds his new home.

  • Personality: friendly, playful, affectionate, loves to play in water
  • Good with: people of all ages (including kids), and dogs.  Has not been cat tested yet.
  • Training: housebroken, knows how to use doggie door, knows the "sit" command
  • Estimated date of birth: November 2024
  • Weight: 40 pounds
  • Medical: vetted, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, heartworm negative, microchipped
  • Location: Currently located with a foster in Texas, but if adopted, will come to the NJ area on our next transport.

More about this rescue

Friends for Life Animal Rescue is a non-profit, 501(c)3, volunteer-run, foster-based Rescue (no facility).

Our focus is to save the lives of dogs and puppies in high-kill shelters in the south and local owner surrenders.

Our mission is to place unwanted and in-danger animals in homes, regardless of age or breed. To educate the public and help stop animal cruelty and neglect.

We don't discriminate against potential adopters on any basis or for any reason. We approve potential adopters if they are and the animal they applied for is a good fit.

Extra Info.-
*If a dog is listed on Adopt a Pet, they are still available, and we accept applications. We approve applications on the best fit for both dog and family.
*We take our best guess on breed and size when fully grown.
* Our dogs are adopted from their foster home or straight from transport from kill shelters in the south.
*We always need foster homes so we can continue to save dogs. Don't hesitate to contact us if you are interested in fostering. Or fill out the foster application using this link - https://form.jotform.com/210257395409155
