About Baxter

Baxter was found as a stray in North Houston, sporting a natural look. Initially bald and tackling a stubborn skin condition, he’s now on the mend, and his coat is coming back in beautifully—a true puppy glow-up in progress. He’s packed with puppy enthusiasm but knows when it’s time to chill. After some playtime, Baxter is perfectly content to cuddle up for a nap, either next to you or in his own space. Friendly with everyone, he greets new faces as if they’re long-lost friends. Baxter is still polishing some life skills, like potty training and walking nicely on a harness, so he would thrive with a patient coach. He’s smart, playful, and easygoing, ready to bring fun to your life while also knowing how to relax. If you’re looking for a pup with personality and a great balance of energy, Baxter might just be the match for you.
