About Baxter
Meet Baxter, a 17-pound Terrier mix just over a year old, looking for a loving home. This little guy came to us from an older woman who needed to sign him over to animal control. As a result, he can be quite shy and cautious, especially in new situations. Baxter thrives in a calm environment; loud voices can make him nervous. Because of his timid nature, he would do best in a quieter home with older children who understand a gentle approach. Once he feels safe and trusts you, Baxter turns into a total snuggle buddy. He enjoys curling up next to his people and playing with his toys. He’s also great with other dogs and cats, making him a lovable addition to any family. Baxter may take a little time to warm up, but with your patience and kindness, he’ll show you just how much love he can give. If you think you have the right atmosphere for Baxter to flourish, consider being the person he's been waiting for. Baxter will be ready for adoption mid-September. Don’t miss out on the chance to welcome this sweet boy into your life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
