Baxter joined us as a rescue transfer and is looking for a forever home. He’s incredibly affectionate and happiest when he’s close to you, whether you’re lounging on the couch or going about your day. This little guy thrives on companionship and truly wants to be included in everything you do. What’s not to love about Baxter? He’s friendly and calm, getting along well with everyone he meets. He’s also quiet, proving to be quite the opposite of the typical yappy Chihuahua. In his kennel, he’s proven to be a model resident, making him a great addition to a home looking for a bit of routine. Although Baxter can be timid and submissive, he’s shown no aggression in his foster home. He might need gentle introductions to new furry friends, as he appreciates having his space. A respectful approach will help him feel at ease. Baxter would thrive in a home with older, dog-savvy children, ideally ages 7 to 10, who understand how to approach and handle small dogs. This little love seeks a cozy space, a patient family, and a nurturing environment where he can feel secure. In return, he promises to be a delightful companion, always by your side.
