Baxter's Story

Meet Baxter | 7 Years Old | 90 lbs<br/><br/>Baxter spent his entire life in a home. Then, through no fault of his own, everything changed.

He's the type of dog who leans into affection, melts into pets, and reminds you just how special senior dogs truly are.<br/><br/>What Baxter is like:<br/> Perfect car rider - calm and relaxed<br/> Sweet, gentle, and incredibly affectionate<br/> Lives for pets, cuddles, and being close to his people<br/> Enjoys playing ball and going on walks - he likes to move at a faster pace and may pull a bit, but it's manageable<br/><br/>Baxter's impeccable manners:<br/> Fully potty trained<br/> Excellent house manners<br/> No jumping<br/> Great with people of all ages, including kids<br/> Does well with calm, relaxed dogs<br/> Ultimate couch potato once his walk is done<br/> Baxter previously lived in a home with cats, there is potential with patient introduction that he could again coexist. He would need a patient introduction.<br/><br/>Baxter is a big, chunky love bug who just needs a soft place to land-a home where he can finally exhale.
