My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi my name is Baxter aka ‘the lil prince.’I am a boy, am almost 7mos old, and weigh around 7-8lbs. I am not as outgoing as my siblings and prefer to sit and observe. My bestest buddy is my biggest brother Harvey (100 lb boxer). He is a senior boy who has difficulty walking and just likes to lay there. I love to cuddle with him, give him tons of kisses, and will even clean his ears if he lets me. Harvey lets me know if I am being too much and I will then just sit next to him because I love him so much. My foster mom said she was jealous because when I came home from the vet after being neutered he was the first one I wanted to go see. When I go outside I mostly like to stay near mom or follow Harvey around if he is out with us. I try to get her to pick me up and hold me because I am too good for the ground. She says I have perfected the side-eye judgy look especially when she tries to give me a lot of kisses. I don’t like to give
kisses myself because lil princes receive affection they do not give it! I will wrestle sometimes with my brothers but I am not overly playful and more low key. When I go out I have my
special ‘private’ area to do my business. I do well in a bath if you let me rest my head
up against you and cuddle me during it. I am still working on potty training but I assure
you that you will never actually see me doing it. I can be very stubborn and need
someone who is stronger willed than I am to teach me how to walk on a leash and other
good boy things. Our walks should be  shorter and during cooler times of the day too to avoid me overheating or having breathing difficulties. I would probably do well with a small fenced yard or a patio area with some grass to hang out together with you. I'm ready to become your best pal.  Like all Peke pups I will need good grooming/brushing to prevent matting and daily care for facial folds after meals. Since I'm still a puppy I will need to continue my training and socialization. If you live in the Central Florida (Orlando) area and think you would be the perfect forever home for Baxter, we'd love to find out more about you. Please fill in our adoption application and let us know more about your family.
