Meet Baxter – A Sweet Soul Looking for a Calm Home Baxter is an 8-year-old sweetheart ready to find his perfect match. He’s a quiet, gentle boy who loves nothing more than cuddling on the couch, enjoying a movie night, and being near his person. Baxter needs to be the only dog in the home. He’s not dangerous, but he doesn't do well around other dogs. He simply prefers his own space and a peaceful environment. He does get along well with cats and would thrive with a single person, a couple, or someone older who’s looking for a low-key, loving companion. He can be a little shy at first, but once he trusts you, he’s incredibly affectionate. Baxter also has some anxiety during thunderstorms, but sitting with him and offering a few treats helps keep him calm. If you’re looking for a mellow, loyal companion to share quiet days and cozy nights, Baxter might be just the one.
