Baxter's owner is a relative who was in an accident and will be in rehab for quite some time. He feels that he will no longer be able to care for Baxter once he is healthy again. He asked me to have Baxter put up for adoption.Baxter was originally an adopted dog and is thought to be 8 years old.He has been an indoor dog for the 5 years my relative owned him.He is very friendly with people, although we have never seen him around children.My relative tells me that Baxter has recently taken to damaging the kitchen floor and basement steps when left alone.Baxter is currently boarded at a kennel and the handlers say that his does not interact very well with the other animals.

Story
This is 𝗟𝗶𝘇𝘇𝘆. Look at that big, dumb, ridiculously lovable face. Lizzy is an 𝟴-𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘀𝗲/𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗶𝘅, and I’ve had her since she was just 𝟴 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱. She has been part of our family her entire life. ▪︎ Housebroken ▪︎ Crate trained ▪︎ LOVES squeaky toys ▪︎ Giant rawhide bones are her reason for living ▪︎ Professional pillow cuddler ▪︎ Full of personality, affection, and love Lizzy was 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝟰 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱. Because of that trauma, she is extremely uncomfortable with anyone touching her paws. She has some arthritis & sensitivity in her hips as a result of that attack.

Story
Zella has been our baby since she was born—we own her dad also. She’ll be 8 yrs old in October & unfortunately she was diagnosed a couple years ago with hypothyroidism. With 2 kids & another on the way along with me not being able to work, we can no longer afford her medications. I’d love for her to be in a home where she can get the proper care/meds she needs so she can keep living a high quality life. She’s such a sweetheart, very good with kids (we have toddlers), other dogs & cats. As bad as it breaks our hearts to even write this post, we just want her to have a better life than what we are able to give right now. **She does have some fur loss from missing medications unfortunately (you can see a bit on her chest in last pic) but with her meds (thyroid pill + med shampoo) it will be back within just a few weeks.
