Meet Baxter, a dog who many say acts more like a cat.
This 6-year-old hound mix likes to take things slow with new people and greet them on his own terms. But once he knows you and loves you, his whole body will wiggle at the sight of you!
Like a cat, Baxter is all about those personal boundaries! He enjoys being petted and will let you know when he wants the attention, but he’s not a fan of unsolicited pets when he has better things to do.
Tennis balls and peanut butter Kongs are Baxter’s favorite things in the world. He also really enjoys low-key strolls, scratching his back in the grass, eating treats, and hanging out in the same room as his favorite people.
Baxter is housebroken, crate-trained, and knows basic commands. His ideal family is one with no children or other dogs, but he’s fine with a feline friend or two!
If you’re interested in adopting Baxter, you can visit him at our Atlanta Animal Center during our open hours. He qualifies for our Foster First Program, which means you can take him home for two weeks prior to finalizing his adoption to ensure he’s a good fit for your lifestyle.
