Baxter is a one year old Dachshund/Terrier (best guess) who weighs a little under 15 lbs and is as sweet as can be!
He came to us when his family had some life changes and it was in his best interest for him to find a home that is a better match. His initial family had some issues getting him completely house trained but we haven't experienced those same issues with him in his foster home. For these reasons, we think he needs a home where he is not left alone for extended periods of time (he'd be fine with 4 or 5 hours at a stretch).
Baxter would love an active home where he'd get to go on adventures and does enjoy his time running around in his foster home's yard. He does want to be near you all the time but he's not a lap dog. He'll jump in your lap for a minute and then he's done. Baxter is very eager to please and is also food motivated.
* Adopters must live within 2 hours of Florence, KY (no exceptions)
* Baxter is a year old and 14.5 lbs
* No cats
* Neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped
* Adoption fee is $212
* Baxter loves other dogs, but can be bossy and needs a home with no cats.
* Not a good match for an apartment or other home that shares walls with neighbors.
* We don't believe he'd be a good match for a home with young children.
If you have specific needs that aren't addressed in the bio (children in the home, small animals, apartment/condo living, etc) please email to ask if the dog is suitable for the environment before submitting an application. Once the application is submitted, please expect someone to email you with questions and/or provide more information about the dog is we are unsure that the dog may be a good fit.
Most importantly, please be honest! We have many people tell us what they think we want to read, not what's truthful. If there are discrepancies, your application will be denied. It's important for us to place dogs in a home that's suitable. You may be a stellar owner but possibly not a good fit for the dog you were first interested in adopting. We're not trying to offend anyone, we're trying to set everyone up for success. We're a best fit rescue and will verify your vet and personal references.
Adoption Process:
Step 1: Complete a “no obligation” application on our website, www.pawprintsnky.com
Step 2: PawPrints will review the application, verifying Vet and personal references as well as landlord requirements/restrictions (if applicable)
Step 3: IF your application is approved, we will call you to schedule a meet and greet for you to meet the pet.
Step 4: If the meet and greet goes well, we will schedule the home visit.
