Good morning! BAXTER here.

I'm still learning the world outside, but I promise I'm a quick study—give me time and trust, and you'll find the gentlest friend quietly waiting by your side.

My file says I've got energy to spare — adventure buddy applications now open.

I'm on the bigger side — which, if you ask me, is just more of me to hug.

Born and (almost) raised right here in Dallas.

Here's the thing — I can't tell if we'd truly click until I know a little about you. Sign in (it's free) and I'll size up your place, say hello to any dogs you've got — or be your very first — and give you my honest read on whether we'd be a match.

If all goes well, I could be curled up with my new pack by Halloween — maybe yours, whether you adopt me or just help me get noticed.

Thanks for spending a minute with me. I'll be right here, tail ready, hoping it's you. — BAXTER

About BAXTER

Meet Baxter â a calm, gentle boy who somehow became the shelterâs longest-staying resident, and honestly? We canât figure out why. This handsome 63-pound guy is one of the easiest dogs youâll ever meet.Baxter greets every visitor at his kennel door with a wagging tail and zero drama. He loves treats (and takes them so politely), enjoys a good scratch session, and will happily warm up to kids, men, and women alike. By the end of a walk, he was handing out kisses â because thatâs just the kind of sweetheart he is.Heâs still learning the ropes of leash walking â it seems like the great outdoors might be pretty new to him â but he improved noticeably over the course of a single day, which tells you everything you need to know about how bright and willing he is. He already knows âsitâ and appears to be potty trained.Baxter absolutely lights up around other dogs. No barking, no aggression â just a wagging tail and playful curiosity. Heâs currently cohoused with a shelter buddy and the two are adorable together. His playgroup evaluation came back PG1-Social, meaning he plays well with others.Car ride? No problem. He settled right in.Baxter came to us as a stray on January 8th, and heâs been patiently waiting for someone to notice him ever since. If youâre looking for a calm, loving????????????????Due to capacity at the shelter, this pet is currently at risk for euthanasia.
