Meet our sweet pup Baxter who is both lovable and smart and only eight months old! He appears to be a boxer and lab mix, but he only weighs about 35-40 pounds and is fairly short.
He has the most darling ears that are so expressive of his excitement and all other feelings. The white blaze down his face is a gorgeous contrast to his dark and sparkly eyes.
Baxter loves kids and playing with his toys, but don't worry: when that doorbell rings, he makes sure everyone hears his big bark, and he's right by your side ready to either defend you or shower love on your guests.
Baxter is nearly housebroken and sleeps in his crate at night. He would prefer to sleep with his person, but he does not bark once he's crated for the night.
Like all puppies, Baxter is a chewer and loves his chewbones and tough toys.
His foster has been working on leash training with him, and he is progressing well without pulling unless another dog he wants to meet is nearby.
A pup like Baxter needs a fenced yard where he can run around and play. He would likely make a great adventure companion and family dog, especially for hikes and walks.
Baxter is staying with his foster near Sunset Hills, Missouri. His adoption fee is $325. He has been neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated.

Additional adoption info
We want to make this easy and we want to be sure that the dog you are interested in is a fit for you. Finding a dog or pup that works with your schedule and lifestyle is key to our placement. The questions on the application help us know if the dog you choose will do well in your home. Number of hours your dog is home alone, fenced yard, exercise plan, other family members – pets included; those are important things we want to discuss with you and your chosen canine. We do require a vet reference.
The application is on our website: Istodaymydayrescue.org. Complete and send. You can expect a reply within 24-48 hours. As all of our dogs are in foster care, we will then contact the foster home and arrange a meeting. The foster home might want to do a home visit or you might meet at a convenient location. If it is a good fit, some adoptions can be completed at that time of the meeting.
If your pup is under 4 pounds or an extra large breed at the age we typically alter our dogs, she or he might need to wait to be altered until the pup reaches a more appropriate age. This is to ensure that the pup is large enough to undergo anesthesia and old enough to not stunt the puppy's growth. If so, we will ask you to sign a spay/neuter contract. We will refer you to a low cost spay neuter program in your area. Sixty dollars will be reimbursed when the procedure is completed.
All of our dogs are micro chipped, wormed, heartworm tested if over 6 months, on heartworm preventative, treated for fleas, and have age appropriate vaccines. Pups under 16 weeks require ongoing vaccines every 2 to 3 weeks.

More about this rescue
“Is today my day?” That is what every shelter dog asks. “Is today the day that I find a home, get a family, discover that I am a best friend”? We want to tell those dogs: “Yes, it is!”
We are a foster based rescue who aims to serve south central Missouri, an area with a low human population and a high canine population. Our mission is to help dogs from this area find homes in the St. Louis area through adoptions and transfers. After covering spay/neuter costs, 20% of each adoption fee goes to our emergency medical fund so we can help canine accident victims, pay for emergency C-sections, and other health needs. The remainder of the adoption fee goes to the dogs.
We are foster based and do not have a facility. Moms and pups are our focus, but we will help any dog we can. We are only able to accept a dog when a foster home is available. All dogs and pups are current on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm tested, wormed, and treated for fleas and ticks. All dogs over 12 weeks have been altered; if too young for this procedure, a spay/neuter reimbursement is provided when the procedure is done.
