Bio
Meet Baxter, a friendly and social guy who seems to enjoy the company of people! From our volunteer observations, he has good manners on the leash and can be a bit jumpy when he's excited to say hello. Baxter appears to be more laid-back around other dogs and tends to keep to himself in playgroup, though he's still curious and engaged when meeting new pups. Contact us about Baxter today!
Due to capacity at the shelter, this pet is currently at risk for euthanasia. We are urgently seeking placement through adoption, foster, or approved rescue.

Baxter was quite in his kennel when I stopped in front of it, he got up calmly and gently wagged his tail. He was easy to get on the leash and bring outside to the play yard. Outside in the play yard he enjoyed running around. I sat on the bench and he came over on his own to say hi. He gently put his paws on my lap to get pets. He wagged his tail while he was getting petted. He had a happy friendly demeanor
