About
This darling boy is Baxter, a Staffy mix born on 14 October 2021.
For a pup of his age, he has quite an eventful back story.
He arrived in care with a week-old fracture of his left front elbow, caused during play with an adult dog.
Thanks to a gifted surgeon, a shiny stainless screw and loving foster carers, Baxter has regained his mobility and is now ready for his new home.
He still has a slight limp, which doesn’t bother him at all.
Although he may never lose the limp altogether, he should continue to improve in the coming months.
Like a typical Staffy, he is a sweet-natured pup, playful and very dog-friendly.
He loves the company of humans, including children, and will thrive in a home where he is regarded as an integral member of the family.
He is accustomed to being an inside-outside dog.
The other thing about Baxter that’s worth noting is he has proven himself to be a very patient and cooperative boy.
Post-operatively, he had to be kept quiet for six weeks and you can just imagine what that was like for a puppy – he had to undergo physio twice a day. Full credit to his foster carers, who are also very patient people, for getting him through this difficult period.
Preference will be given to homes where someone is around most of the time and there is another compatible dog for him to play with.
Baxter is untested with cats.
His adoption fee is $650 and he is desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.
If you are interested in meeting Baxter, we’d love to hear from you.
Baxter lives in Warwick, Queensland and is available for interstate adoption.
