Meet Baxter &#194&#150 Your Future Adventure Buddy! Hi there! I'm Baxter, a 2-year-old male Shepherd/Husky mix weighing in at about 85 lbs of fun, fluff, and full-speed zoomies. I recently found myself at Rockwall Adoption Center through no fault of my own, and now I'm ready to start my next chapter with an active family who's ready to keep up with me. I'm a smart, energetic guy who loves learning new things and staying mentally and physically busy. As a Shepherd/Husky mix, I'm very people-oriented and thrive on interaction, companionship, and being part of the action. I'm the kind of dog who wants to be involved in your life&#194&#151walks, playtime, training sessions, and probably supervising whatever you're doing (quality control is important). Because I bond strongly with my people, I'm not a &#194&#147set it and forget it&#194&#148 kind of dog. I do best in a home where I won't be left alone for long stretches and where I can be indoors, included, and mentally engaged. Long lonely days in the yard are not my style&#194&#151I'd much rather be by your side. If you have other dogs, a meet and greet is recommended to be sure everyone's play styles and personalities are a good match before I head home. I'm already neutered, microchipped, current on my rabies and basic vaccinations, heartworm negative, and my adoption fee is $125. If you're looking for a loyal, energetic, intelligent companion who's ready for adventures and endless love, I might just be your guy. Apply to adopt me here: https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ Approved applicants will be contacted by RAC staff to schedule meet and greets in the order applications are received.
