Baylor is the kind of dog who surprises you. At first glance, he’s a solid, 55-60 lb brindle mix with an unmistakable blocky head, but beneath that impressive build is a gentle, affectionate soul convinced he’s meant to be a lap dog. Baylor’s been lighting up his foster home with a steady mix of goofy enthusiasm and warmth, making friends easily with the other medium and large dogs there. He cherishes food, and his excitement at mealtimes is nearly contagious. Baylor walks pretty well on leash, but be ready for a bit of pulling as he still needs a bit of practice—look at it as a bonus workout. He already knows how to sit and listens well (especially with treat motivation). House training isn’t quite finished; he’s close and making steady progress. The rescue neutered and fully vaccinated him, and he’s getting ongoing heartworm treatment after being saved from euthanasia at a crowded shelter. You’ll find Baylor in Cosby, TN, available for out-of-state adoption as long as you can meet him in person. Looking for a happy, soft-hearted, social companion to fill your home with joy and hearty cuddles? Baylor is ready. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
