About Baxter
Introducing Baxter, the gentle soul with a heart of gold. At 7 years old, Baxter may be considered older, but his affectionate nature and laid-back demeanor make him the perfect companion for those seeking a loyal canine friend.
Baxter is a true people's dog, finding his greatest joy in spending quality time with his beloved humans. Whether it's lounging together for some cuddles or simply basking in each other's company, Baxter thrives on the bond he shares with his person.
While Baxter is amicable towards other dogs, his true preference lies in being the sole focus of his owner's attention. While he could coexist with a calmer canine companion, his primary desire is to be the cherished companion of his human.
Given his history of separation anxiety, Baxter would flourish in a home where someone is present more often than not. A spacious yard where he can stretch his legs and engage in daily exercise would be ideal, coupled with mental stimulation to keep his active mind occupied.
With his serene disposition and unwavering loyalty, Baxter is the epitome of a devoted companion. If you're in search of a canine companion who will be by your side through thick and thin, look no further than Baxter. Reach out to us today to welcome this sweet Border Collie into your heart and home!
