Baxter

Baxter is a sweet, sensitive boy packed with personality, intelligence, and heart. While we don’t know much about his life before rescue, we do know this: his future is bright, and it’s only getting better. Baxter does best when people move slowly and allow him to approach on his own terms. Fast-moving things like bicycles, skateboards, joggers, and rollerbladers can make him nervous, but he’s actively learning how to manage his reactions and is making great progress. With consistency and repetition, Baxter will continue to grow into the confident, amazing dog he’s meant to be. He walks nicely on leash and already knows his basics — sit, down, off, and place. Baxter is crate trained and appears to be potty trained when given regular outdoor breaks. He has been muzzle trained, and his future family should be comfortable continuing to use the muzzle as part of his training and management plan to help keep Baxter — and everyone around him — safe. Baxter is also 100% dog-friendly and would love a home with another confident, well-balanced canine to help show him the ropes.

Ideal Home

Baxter needs a low-traffic, adult-only home where he can feel safe and settled. He will do best in a home with a large backyard and a more “homebody” lifestyle, rather than a household that frequently visits busy, high-traffic environments.

Ongoing Health
