Meet handsome Baxter
Baxter is a precious two year old poodle mix with beautiful golden brown eyes and a lovely tail. This two year old found himself abandoned at the shelter, covered in dirt and terribly frightened and shutdown. His is slowly coming out of his shell and warming up. He quietly follows his foster mom everywhere, rarely barks and has the precious habit of gently laying his fuzzy head on one’s arm to invite cuddling. He has so much love to give! Baxter adores people he knows but doesn’t like strangers (especially male strangers) until they become friends. He will need a quiet, non chaotic predictable home with just one or two people that will allow him to come around on his time. Baxter loves the children he knows very much, but, the commotion that comes with children is too much for this shy guy right now and for that reason we are recommending a kid free home (regular children visitors are OK). Baxter does not have to live with another dog but he wouldn’t mind having a small dog friend (or two) and we are guessing he would be ok with cats (although we have never seen him with cats). He maybe a mellow guy but he does need regular exercise everyday! Baxter is house trained, neutered, vaccinated and micro-chipped.
