About Baxter
I recently had a baby, and she’s now 2 months old. As much as this breaks my heart, I need to find a new home for my dog, Baxter. He’s a 9&1/2-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle mix who has had ongoing behavioral issues that I can no longer manage safely, especially with a newborn in the home. Baxter has always been very aggressive during grooming—he won’t allow anyone, including me, to cut his hair or nails without trying to bite. It’s become increasingly stressful and unsafe. He also still has occasional accidents in the house, even though he’s house-trained, and it’s more than I can handle right now. I truly believe he needs a home that can give him the time, structure, and possibly professional help that I’m no longer able to provide. I want what’s best for him, and I know that’s not with me anymore. I’m reaching out in hopes that someone experienced with dogs like him might be able to help or point me in the right direction.
