Black Lab (Baxter 10-227) [1]

Welcome to Ragom Baxter 10-227!! Baxter came all the way from South Dakota with Sunny 10-225 and Try 10-228.  Thank you to everyone that helped transport him to us!  Baxter was taken away from his previous home because the living conditions were so bad, but you wouldn't know it from Baxter's attitude. 

He is approximately a 7 month old black lab mix around 40 lbs. The shelter who took him in did a great job vetting him, and getting him ready to come to us.  Baxter is very much a puppy with tons of puppy energy, but is an amazing listener.  If he gets anything a puppy shouldn't (socks, paper etc.), all you have to say is no in a calm voice and he drops it then and there.  Baxter and my golden resident dog Nova get along terrificly.  They play constantly together.

I also think Baxter may have some golden in him.  Even though he doesn't look it at all he has a golden personality.  He just LOVES his people.  If anyone sits on a couch, Baxter is right next to you kissing you and cuddling with you the whole while. 

His puppy energy does run out, and he loves to take naps on your lap.  We just had our first night together, and Baxter did TERRIFIC in the crate!  We put him in and he cried for probably 30 seconds and then off to sleep for the ENTIRE night!  It was fabulous!

We are working on potty training with Baxter as well and he does a wonderful job going potty and doing his business immediately when we go outside. 

We will continue loving this puppy, and getting him ready for his forever home.  If you are interested in this sweetheart, please contact your placement advisor!
