Baxter is a 2-year-old American Bulldog mix found in Athens, OH, with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Fresh from almost a year in a kennel, Baxter is soaking up every new experience. His short black and white coat is just as lively as his spirit—this is a dog built for action and chasing after any ball you throw his way. There’s a spark in him that never really dims; he's happiest running wild in a yard, being at your side whether you're at play or relaxing. He’s spent enough time confined to appreciate every moment of freedom. Baxter gets along with other dogs, though his bouncy nature means he’ll do best with an equally energetic, patient canine companion. Cats aren’t really his speed, so he’d be better in a feline-free home. Families with children will find his cheerful attitude a great fit—he thrives on interaction and playtime with kids. Baxter is house trained but still getting the hang of what’s expected in a home, so patience and encouragement will get you far. He’s the kind of dog who rewards effort: diligent, lovable, and eager to join in on every escapade. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
