Description:
Meet Baxter! Baxter (aka Bailey) and his buddy Gracie were once adopted from a shelter by a nice elderly lady. They were well taken care of and loved, but the owner's health eventually prevented her from being able to keep them. The cute pair is now on their way to MARS to find themselves a forever home. If at all possible, they would like to stay together. Update from the foster home: Baxter (Bailey) is the easiest little dog. Everyone who has met him has been so impressed by how mellow and laid back he is. Bailey enjoys short walks for leisure. He mainly loves to go out in the backyard to explore and roam. He will never pass up a time to cuddle and will ask for head scratches and belly rubs.You will always know what Bailey needs because he will let you know when he needs to go outside or if it is time for dinner. He rarely barks and doesn't understand when other dogs get all excited about the cat or people or dogs passing him on walks, nothing seems to bother him. He knows basic commands and comes when called. The funniest thing about Bailey is he likes to be held like a baby. He has even fallen asleep like that in my arms! Bailey is such an easy, loving dog who just wants a family of his own! Bailey came to MARS with his 5 year old "sister" Gracie. They are a perfect little duo and would do very well going to a home together. Bailey would do best in a home with another dog. Even though he is self-sufficient and can mostly entertain himself, he loves to follow others and feed off their energy!
