Description

Dog Breed: Bichon Frise / Poodle (Miniature) / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: 375.00. Baxter — Bichon Mix • Graduate & Gentleheart Meet Baxter, our brave little comeback kid! He came to PRBJ after a tough start where he wasn’t socialized with people or other animals, so the world felt pretty scary to him. With patience, love, and a big team effort, Baxter has blossomed. His Turning Point Thanks to a 28-day training program with the amazing team at Pet Paradise in Sanford, Baxter learned that people can be safe and fun, and that calm dog buddies are pretty great, too. Their trainers did a fantastic job—he graduated with new skills, new confidence, and even a fresh haircut to celebrate! What Baxter’s Like Now People: He does best with women and may take extra time to warm up to men. Slow, gentle introductions help him feel secure. Dogs: Friendly with calm, relaxed dogs (both his size and larger). He’s not a fan of pushy, “alpha” personalities. Energy/Temperament: Sensitive, sweet, and eager to please once he trusts you. He thrives with routine and positive reinforcement. The Home He’s Looking For Patient humans who will continue his training and keep building his confidence. A quieter home or one that can manage thoughtful introductions to new people. If there are dogs in the home, Baxter would do best with easygoing canine companions. Adults and older, dog-savvy kids are likely a better fit than a bustling, high-traffic household. Training & Care Needed Continue the skills he learned during his 28-day program (positive reinforcement, clear routines, slow intros). Grooming: As a Bichon mix, Baxter needs professional grooming about every 6 weeks to keep his coat comfy and handsome. Daily walks, enrichment, and calm confidence-building games will help him keep shining.
