Baxter's Story
Name: Baxter<br/>Breed: Lab mix (85 pounds of YOU ARE MY BEST FRIEND AND I LOVE YOU)<br/>Age: Senior, but don't tell him. He still has a full head of hair and the ladies love him<br/>Rescue: Albert’s Dog Lounge<br/>Current Location: Marshfield, WI<br/><br/>Meet Baxter- the perfect man. He’s housebroken (doesn't pee next to the toilet like SOME people we could mention), vaccinated, microchipped, and has a way better personality than your ex. We said what we said.<br/><br/>A word of caution: Baxter is not a huge fan of thunderstorms, and he does better in a "boomy room".... an interior bathroom, a dark closet, wherever he is somewhat shielded from the sounds and sights. Add a melatonin and he’s right back to being your charming, goofy sidekick.<br/><br/>Car rides: While Baxter would happily call shotgun and jump in the front seat, he doesn't know right from left and cannot read road signs, so you might want to consider a human for that spot. He is otherwise good with riding with you, especially if there is a pup cup involved.<br/><br/>Behavioral Highlights<br/><br/>*I am good with dogs and kids. Cats are an unknown, but be cautious. I do have a decent prey drive.<br/><br/>*I can be suspicious of men. TBH, it was one man, and it was my foster mom's boyfriend. He had shifty eyes. I have been fine with men elsewhere. <br/><br/>*Leash walking: A harness is a good choice with me. I am a big boy, and when we first set out on our walk, I get excited and may pull a bit. I redirect with a gentle "no", and settle into strutting my stuff like the superstar I am.<br/><br/>*“Affectionate nibbler.” I may occasionally mouth arms, shoes, or dog friends’ ears to remind you that you’re loved (and that you’re not paying enough attention). I will also use my head or paw to remind you that you are being remiss in the belly rub department.<br/><br/>*I may bark at sirens and strange dogs, but I stop if you ask nicely. Paying the cheese tax gets me to focus on being quiet quite nicely.<br/><br/>I will wrap my paw around your leg like we're about to slow dance to Marvin Gaye. Cancel your plans; I've got the playlist covered. I am big into 80s slow jams. You should be too.<br/><br/>I am dog-friendly and great with older kids who appreciate a lovable goof with no sense of personal space. I may knock over a very small human, but it would be accidental<br/><br/>Favorite Pastimes<br/><br/>Cuddling like it’s a full-time job*Looking at you with soulful eyes*Decorating windows with his best nose art*Sleeping like he just pulled a double at the snuggle factory<br/><br/>Walk-out song: Smooth Operator by Sade<br/><br/>Favorite season: Fall. So many sniffs to sniff, leaves to cronch through, and tailgate parties to attend! I don't even care who wins, I just want the brats and cheese curds!<br/><br/>Fashion: Red smoking jacket with velvet lapels. And some slippers. I'm fancy like that.<br/><br/>If you’ve got a sense of humor, a soft couch, and a heart big enough for a man like Baxter, apply now! He's been waiting for you!<br/><br/><br/>Albert's Dog Lounge is a specialty rescue focusing primarily on senior and special needs dogs.<br/><br/>Our process includes an approved application, reference checks, a homevisit, and then a meet and greet with the dog. Adoption fee is $300, ($550 for a pair).
