Picture this: a big, silly boy who just wants to revel in the simple joys of life, pawing at your heart while wagging his tail. But sweet Baxter needs something special: ✨ A serene, adult-only home—no bustling chaos! ✨ A single-animal sanctuary, no furry siblings, please! ✨ A lovely, fenced yard where he can embrace the safe freedom to relax and roam. ✨ An experienced adoptee who understands that building trust takes time—meet-and-greets are a must! ✨ A place where he can gently retreat when visitors arrive because, bless his heart, he finds large gatherings a tad overwhelming. Baxter doesn’t yearn for the busy hustle and bustle of life. No! He craves a tranquil haven filled with patient Love and understanding. He deserves the world, especially after a lifetime spent waiting for that perfect, soft landing.
