History: We recently held our annual Out of the Cold Rescue Effort and welcomed back 200+ animals to rescue. This rescue effort helps animals out of the cold, frigid weather of North Dakota and welcomes them to loving foster homes at Coco’s Heart who work towards finding forever homes for these sweet pups.

Baxter will do best with a confident and experienced family as he is a very confident and smart fella!

A Note from the Foster: Meet Baxter – your next best friend!

Baxter is a lovable, goofy pup with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging. He’s incredibly smart and absolutely loves learning new things. Baxter picks up commands quickly and already knows sit, stay, lay down, kennel, and shake. He’s currently working on leash manners and is doing fantastic!

This sweet boy enjoys eating his meals in his kennel and is completely potty trained—he even alerts you when he needs to go outside. Baxter sleeps soundly through the night in his kennel and never whines or barks. He’s also been accident-free when left home alone.

Baxter gets along great with other dogs after a proper introduction—he likes to be the boss, so a slow intro helps set everyone up for success. He’s great with kids, ignores the cats, and absolutely loves to play—especially with rope toys! His playful energy is matched by his love for snuggles and affection.

Oh, and did we mention his adorable underbite? It’s the cherry on top of his already charming personality.

Baxter is a big flop of love who just wants to make his people happy. If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and silly companion, Baxter is ready to be the perfect addition to your family.

Adoption Fee: $550 + tax

Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
