Baker's Story

Baker - Your Future Best Friend, Built for Snuggles and Adventures - Fox4 Dallas Pet of the Day If youâÂ€ÂTMre looking for a six-year-old gentleman with a heart of gold and the snuggle game of a weighted blanket, Baker is your guy! 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. 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. From Baker's foster mama: 'Baker is one of the sweetest and easiest dogs IâÂ€ÂTMve ever fosteredâÂ€Â”a true gentle giant with a heart full of love. He thrives on affection and finds his greatest comfort being close to his people. Whether itâÂ€ÂTMs lounging nearby or cuddling on the couch, Baker is happiest when heâÂ€ÂTMs right by your side. HeâÂ€ÂTMs a champion snuggler and a âÂ€Âœhug sleeperâÂ€Â who will happily sleep in as long as you doâÂ€Â”no early morning wakeâÂ€Â‘ups required. He enjoys his daily walks (especially when squirrels are involved!) and does great with other dogs. He loves dog parks where he can run, play, and socialize. Baker is also a fantastic companion on car rides and outingsâÂ€Â”I often take him to restaurants, coffee shops and breweries where he relaxes outside and soaks up attention from everyone around him.' Baker has some history behind those soulful eyesâÂ€¦ but heâÂ€ÂTMs so ready for the chapter that ends in happily ever after. Don't just take our word for it! Baker was recently highlighted on Fox4 news as the Dallas pet of the day. All Dallas Pets Alive adoptable pets are spayed or neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines upon adoption.
