About Baxter
Meet Baxter, a pint-sized Maltese who embodies the spirit of a true companion. At just 5 pounds, he believes he’s the king of the castle, and who are we to argue? One moment he’s contentedly nestled in your lap, soaking up affection, and the next he’s exploring every nook and cranny with the determination of a little adventurer. After a life spent with a breeder, Baxter is now ready for retirement and the cozy lifestyle he truly deserves. Soft blankets, warm laps, tasty treats, and lots of love are at the top of his wish list. Recently neutered, Baxter is still refining his potty training and leash manners. He hasn’t quite mastered the stairs yet either, so he’ll need a patient family to help him gain confidence. Until he’s fully house trained, he wears a belly band. He enjoys the company of other dogs and is likely to do well with cats and respectful children, but he would be just as happy being the center of attention as your solo companion. Now, here are two crucial facts about Baxter: First, he has strong opinions and isn’t afraid to express them! If you live in an apartment or close quarters, be aware that he can be quite vocal, especially if he feels left out. Second, Baxter absolutely refuses to be kenneled. He needs a home environment that respects his dislike of confinement, and he won’t hesitate to voice his disapproval. If a tiny dog with a big personality and endless cuddles sounds like the perfect addition to your life, Baxter is waiting for you.
