Baxter - Terrier Dog for Adoption in Plainfield, Illinois

Introducing Sir Baxter BooBear and yes, the title is fully earned.
At just over a year old and 32 pounds of pure enthusiasm, Baxter is the kind of dog who makes you wonder how you ever lived without him. He's housebroken, crate trained, and genuinely delightful which means the hard work is already done and the fun part is all yours.
Baxter is a certified car ride enthusiast, a devoted friend to children of all ages, and the kind of social butterfly who greets new people and dogs like long-lost friends. He loves walks, loves adventure, and loves life but ask anyone who knows him and they'll tell you his secret superpower is the evening snuggle. After a full day of fetch, zooming, wrestling, and intense squirrel surveillance, this boy will park himself right next to you on the couch and make you feel like the luckiest person alive.
Baxter would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can stretch his legs and indulge his athletic side, and he'd love nothing more than a dog sibling to share it all with. Cats, however, are not his thing we'll just leave it at that. We also prefer children 8 or older in the home
If you're looking for a best friend who brings the energy, the laughs, and the cuddles all in one Sir Baxter BooBear is ready to report for duty.
