About Baxter

Hi there, I'm Baxter! I'm an 11-year-old cocker spaniel with a gorgeous buff coat that still turns heads at the dog park. Sure, I'm carrying an extra pound or maybe two at 29lbs, but hey, I'm working on my beach body with my foster family's help! Life has been quite the adventure lately. These nice ladies picked me up and told me they would find me a new forever home. I have excellent house manners and am crate-trained - I never knew how cozy a crate can be for nighttime sleeping or even just to enjoy a treat in peace without my foster sister bothering me. I'm quite the social butterfly with other dogs, and enjoy their company. Those mysterious creatures called cats? Well, they fascinate me and I'm ok if they get close�'�|I'm too dignified to chase them around like some common retriever. We can all live together! Little humans? As long as they are dog-savvy and gentle with me then I'm sure we can live together too! My favorite spot in the whole world is my dog bed by the front window. It's my command center where I can supervise the neighborhood and alert everyone when visitors arrive - I take my security duties very seriously! Sometimes my humans laugh when I announce the mailman's arrival, but that's important intelligence, people. I absolutely love my chew toys and giving kisses to my favorite humans. Speaking of humans, I much prefer having company around during the day. I'm not really a 'home alone' kind of guy - I believe life is better when shared with good people. My hearing isn't quite what it used to be, but that just means I'm even more focused on the humans I love. I like short walks and do pretty well on a leash though I'm still perfecting my technique. I'm looking for a family who understands that the best things in life - like me - are worth waiting for. Someone who appreciates a sweet old soul who knows the value of a good nap, a squeaky toy, and loyal companionship. Could that be you?
