Baker

My story

Meet Baker - The Loaf with a Heart of Gold If youâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re looking for a six-year-old gentleman with the emotional range of a Pixar protagonist and the snuggle game of a weighted blanket, Baker is your guy. Baker has been through it. Multiple stints in the shelter. Abandonment. A body covered in wounds and skinny enough to break your heart. But heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s made the decision to leave all that behind and embrace the soft life like a pro. Now? Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s thriving. Baker is: â&#194&#128¢ Potty trained â&#194&#128¢ Kid approved (his baby human is basically his soulmate) â&#194&#128¢ A certified couch loaf â&#194&#128¢ An expert cuddler who thinks laps are made for dogs like him â&#194&#128¢ Incredibly gentle, even when tiny hands get a little too curious â&#194&#128¢ Leash polite and backyard bathroom efficient â&#194&#128¢ A total Velcro lovebug, but slowly learning how to nap in other rooms without fear of being left behind Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s also: â&#194&#128¢ Calm around the house â&#194&#128¢ Learning commands and eager to please (especially if treats are involved) â&#194&#128¢ A dramatic snorer, frequent farter, and proud one-ear-flopper â&#194&#128¢ A dragon plushie enthusiast (de-stuffed, of course) Baker has a hilarious â&#194&#128&#194&#156baby cryâ&#194&#128&#194&#157 whimper if you leave him behind and a knack for hopping baby gates like an Olympic hurdler if it means getting back to his person. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s not looking for a crate. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s looking for a bed, preferably yours. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s currently undergoing treatment for heartworms and will be getting a few bad teeth pulled soon. But heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s eating just fine and healing fast. Emotionally, heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s even further along. What started as flinches and cowers has turned into full-body wiggles and blind trust. Baker doesnâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t just want a home. He wants a human. Someone who wonâ&#194&#128&#194&#153t give up on him. Someone he can check on when theyâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re sad, snuggle when theyâ&#194&#128&#194&#153re tired, and love with his whole goofy, wiggly self. Heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s got some history behind those soulful eyesâ&#194&#128¦ but heâ&#194&#128&#194&#153s so ready for the chapter that ends in happily ever after.
