Baxter

My story

🐾 Meet Baxter – The Ultimate Playful & Loyal Companion! 🐶 After 197 days in a kennel, Baxter finally got his freedom ride—but his happily-ever-after is still on hold. 💔 This sweet 2-year-old, 60 lb neutered boy has been through so much. After months in the shelter, his body needed time and vet care to heal. We got him healthy, hopeful, and ready for love. But now, the family who planned to adopt him has decided to move on… not because of Baxter — they simply weren’t ready after losing their own dog. 😥 ✨ Housebroken (he barks to let you know he needs to potty!) ✨ Crate trained & polite indoors ✨ Dog-friendly (best with non-dominant pups) ✨ Snuggle bug who loves to sleep under blankets ✨ Playful but super chill – hangs outdoors calmly and loves his people ✨ Fully vetted and ready to travel to U.S. or Canadian adopters He was surrendered for being “too active,” but truthfully? Baxter just loves life. He thrives on yard time, comfy blankets, and being someone’s buddy. He’s independent, easygoing, and so full of love. Baxter has waited way too long for someone to see what we see: an incredible, easy, happy dog who deserves his shot. 🏡 Be Baxter’s hero. Apply here: https://linktr.ee/pawprintsofhoperescue
