Baxter is an 9-month-old hound, pit bull, and shepherd mix with the sweetest soul and the gentlest eyes. This handsome young pup may be a little shy at first, but once he feels safe, his loving personality truly shines. Baxter is still learning about the big world around him and would thrive in a patient home that can continue his socialization and help build his confidence. With kindness, encouragement, and positive experiences, he blossoms more each day. He enjoys quiet moments, gentle affection, and would do best with a family that understands that shy dogs just need a little extra time — and give back so much love in return. At just 9 months old, Baxter is still a puppy, which means he’s full of potential and ready to grow into an amazing lifelong companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, tender-hearted best friend and are willing to guide him as he gains confidence, Baxter may be your perfect match. 💛
