About Baldwin

Baldwin’s adoption fee has already been paid thanks to a donor, so the right home just needs to come along. This senior Beagle/Shar Pei mix, about 10 to 12 years old, was picked up as a roadside rescue in Texas after surviving a tough life. His face tells a story, but you can still see he wants to trust again. Baldwin enjoys leisurely walks and sniffing in the yard and is still figuring out toys. He gets along with other mellow dogs. Quick movements can make him wary, so he needs a calm home with adults or older kids—12 and up is best. He’s not quick to warm up to handling, especially his paws, but with time and patience, he does come around. Baldwin is ready for a gentle adopter who understands he needs a bit of extra time to adjust. If you’re looking for a deeply deserving companion, he might just be the one. Ready to fall in love?
