Story
Baxter will be one year old January 27,2026. I acquired Baxter from a friend whose niece brought him home without her mother’s permission.. A couple in an apartment had to get rid of him because pets were not allowed. I said that I will take him because I had recently lost my dog Bailey after 13.5 years. Baxter is extremely active and needs to be in a home that’s fenced in. He is super active and must be able to run and play most of the day. I work remotely as a bookkeeper and can’t entertain him most of the day. My home is not fenced in. He will be great with children and other dogs to keep him entertained. He’s pad trained for number two only. He has all his shots and he has been neutered. He is a good playful puppy that needs active people in his life.

Story
From a Box on a Porch to Your Best Friend! A few months ago, this sweet boy who I named Kody was found abandoned in a box on a porch. He was scared and alone, but he has spent every day since then proving just how resilient and loving he is. I’ve spent the last few months helping him become the best version of himself. Kody started life in a box, but he’s destined for the big leagues! This high-energy pup is the perfect mix of "athlete" and "lap dog." The Highlights: * ✅ Trained: Fully house and crate trained. * ✅ Personality: Loves to run, wrestle, jump, and play; total cuddle-bug at night. * ✅ Skills: Listens to commands (but still has that adorable puppy spark!). * ✅ Needs: An active family, a yard, or a dedicated walker. I rescued him to give him a fighting chance, and now he’s ready for a home that has the time and space to let him shine. Is it yours?
