Hound / Mixed (short coat) Dog

Baxter the Dog needs a home

Updated: 2/7/18


Hey - over here - check me out!! My name is Baxter, I am 1-2 years old and weigh about 55 lbs. When you look at me, you might say "oh, just another hound". But let me tell you why I'm so much more than just "another hound".


So let's talk about the practical things - I am house trained, I'm a good boy in the house while my family is away, I know my basic commands like sit, stay, give paw, lie down, off. I know to come when you call me. I sit politely for my meals and treats, and I'm not possessive about my food or toys. I LOVE going for adventures, if it's for a walk I know how to heel next to you and sit when you stop, and if it's in the car just make sure I can look out the window while I sit quietly. I am very good with all kinds of dogs, and I really like kids. And although you'd expect me to be a big talker, I'm really not - I really only bark for stuff like a strange noise in the middle of the night, which is kinda my dog job, right? I met a cat, and thought it would be fun to play chase, but the cat didn't think that was fun at all.


I am a HUGE lover, being around my people is very important to me. Cut my nails, clean my ears, touch my tail, brush me - do whatever you want, as long as you're paying attention to me! But I am also respectful, if you don't have time to pet me right now, just let me know and I'll find a spot to lie down where I can be by you. Toys are super, you might find me throwing them up in the air to entertain myself, or peeling the cover off a tennis ball. And if you like to play fetch, I'm your guy - for a few throws, then I get sidetracked :-) I go to daycare sometimes (they love me there!) and dog parks as much as I can (there are always new friends to meet!), cause I'm still a young guy and need my fun and daily exercise.


So there you have it - I'm just a big sweetie who is eager to please without being crazy, loves attention without being too pushy, who loves a good time then knows how to settle down. Think I might be the kind of friend you've been looking for? Then c'mon - let's meet and find out!


Adoption Fee: $400.00


We are a Wisconsin state licensed dog rescue -WI# 402433


 


***We do not have a central adoption center at this time. All our dogs are in private foster homes within WI. At this time we only place our dogs in areas of WI. The breed of our dogs is our best guess with the help of our veterinarians.


Our Weight Classes are as follows:

0- 25lbs - Small

26- 45lbs - Medium

46-89 - Large

90+ X-large

If you are adopting an adult dog, which we consider 6 months of age or older, your adoption fee includes the following:


Spay/Neuter, Rabies and Distemper shots, dewormed, flea & tick preventative, heartworm tested and microchipped.


If you are adopting a dog younger than 6 months of age, the dog will be up to date on the shots as per the dogs age. The dog will be dewormed, flea/tick preventative and microchipped. We only spay/neuter our dogs by 6 months of age. If you decide to adopt a younger dog than 6 months of age, they will need to be spayed/neutered at one of our preferred clinics. This will be determined by your contract along with the month they should have their surgery. This is included in your adoption fee.


Once you are approved with our rescue, you can meet any one of our dogs within the fosters home. If you are interested in the dog you met, you can take the dog home under our mandatory foster to adopt program. You receive 5 days to see if the dog is the right fit for your home.


If it is, we will conduct the home visit and finalize adoption. If it is not, it is returned to the foster. We are happy to find you another dog that meets your needs in your home.


If a dog is listed as PENDING, a family has met the dog and planning on adopting the dog after the home visit has been conducted. We always suggest sending in an application for a dog because there are times where the dogs are given back to us under the foster to adopt program. There are many reasons dogs are returned but normally it just was not the right fit for all.

Please go to WWW.TAILWAGGERS911.COM under HOW TO ADOPT . We have an online application that is very easy to fill out.
