Description
Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 350. Meet Baxter! Baxter is a 1-year-old sweetheart with a heart as big as his soulful puppy-dog eyes. At just 32 pounds, he’s the perfect medium-size companion—easy to scoop up for snuggles, yet sturdy enough to keep up with all of life’s adventures. Baxter is house trained and crate trained, and he sleeps soundly through the night in his crate. He’s a medium-to-high energy boy who truly thrives on routine, which helps him feel secure and continue growing into the confident dog he’s becoming. He walks nicely on leash, enjoys meeting new people and other dogs, and has already mastered “sit” and “come.” He’s still working on car rides and meeting people outside the home, and with consistency and patience, he continues to make great progress. Because walks alone won’t meet his exercise needs, Baxter requires a home with a 5-foot fenced yard and a playful canine companion to help him burn off energy and stay happy and balanced. A doggy playmate is a must for this social, fun-loving boy. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate pup who will flourish with structure, play, and companionship—and who answers happily to Boo or Boobear—Baxter may be your perfect match If you are interested in adopting/meeting this pup , please complete our online adoption application that you can find here: .starfishanimalrescue/adopt/dog-adoption-application .

The adoption fee of $350 will include spay/neuter, microchip, age appropriate/required vaccinations, treatment for heartworm and any other necessary medical treatment to assure a healthy new pup for your family.

We can tell you that they are 100% RESCUED! And that is the BEST breed! *please note that we are a foster home based rescue and we do home visits as part of the adoption process - we are unable to adopt to families who live outside of the Chicago and surrounding suburbs.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
