Critter Details

See Baxter’s HomepageGo to our official websiteMeet Baxter! Baxter is a 1-year-old sweetheart with a heart as big as his soulful puppy-dog eyes. At just 32 pounds, he’s the perfect medium-size companion—easy to scoop up for snuggles, yet sturdy enough to keep up with all of life’s adventures. Baxter is house trained and crate trained, and he sleeps soundly through the night in his crate. He’s a medium-to-high energy boy who truly thrives on routine, which helps him feel secure and continue growing into the confident dog he’s becoming. He walks nicely on leash, enjoys meeting new people and other dogs, and has already mastered “sit” and “come.” He’s still working on car rides and meeting people outside the home, and with consistency and patience, he continues to make great progress. Because walks alone won’t meet his exercise needs, Baxter requires a home with a 5-foot fenced yard and a playful canine companion to help him burn off energy and stay happy and balanced. A doggy playmate is a must for this social, fun-loving boy. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate pup who will flourish with structure, play, and companionship—and who answers happily to Boo or Boobear—Baxter may be your perfect match   If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: https://www.starfishanimalrescue.com/adopt/dog-adoption-application  .
