Baker's Story

Meet Baker - The Loaf with a Heart of Gold If youâÂ€ÂTMre looking for a six-year-old gentleman with the emotional range of a Pixar protagonist and the snuggle game of a weighted blanket, Baker is your guy. Baker has been through it. Multiple stints in the shelter. Abandonment. A body covered in wounds and skinny enough to break your heart. But heâÂ€ÂTMs made the decision to leave all that behind and embrace the soft life like a pro. Now? HeâÂ€ÂTMs thriving. Baker is: âÂ€¢ Potty trained âÂ€¢ Kid approved (his baby human is basically his soulmate) âÂ€¢ A certified couch loaf âÂ€¢ An expert cuddler who thinks laps are made for dogs like him âÂ€¢ Incredibly gentle, even when tiny hands get a little too curious âÂ€¢ Leash polite and backyard bathroom efficient âÂ€¢ A total Velcro lovebug, but slowly learning how to nap in other rooms without fear of being left behind HeâÂ€ÂTMs also: âÂ€¢ Calm around the house âÂ€¢ Learning commands and eager to please (especially if treats are involved) âÂ€¢ A dramatic snorer, frequent farter, and proud one-ear-flopper âÂ€¢ A dragon plushie enthusiast (de-stuffed, of course) Baker has a hilarious âÂ€Âœbaby cryâÂ€Â whimper if you leave him behind and a knack for hopping baby gates like an Olympic hurdler if it means getting back to his person. HeâÂ€ÂTMs not looking for a crate. HeâÂ€ÂTMs looking for a bed, preferably yours. HeâÂ€ÂTMs currently undergoing treatment for heartworms, but heâÂ€ÂTMs healing fast. He'll be fully healthy and ready for meet and greets at the start of the year! Emotionally, heâÂ€ÂTMs even further along. What started as flinches and cowers has turned into full-body wiggles and blind trust. Baker doesnâÂ€ÂTMt just want a home. He wants a human. Someone who wonâÂ€ÂTMt give up on him. Someone he can check on when theyâÂ€ÂTMre sad, snuggle when theyâÂ€ÂTMre tired, and love with his whole goofy, wiggly self. HeâÂ€ÂTMs got some history behind those soulful eyesâÂ€¦ but heâÂ€ÂTMs so ready for the chapter that ends in happily ever after. All Dallas Pets Alive adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon adoption. The standard minimum donation for dogs over six months to seven years is $200, puppies under six months is $250, dogs eight years and over are $100 unless specified otherwise.
