Baxter's Home

Baxter has had quite a journey. His story really began when his family no longer wanted him near Dodge City KS. C.A.R.E. transported him to Blue Moon in Colorado and he now lives in Vermont with his new dad.  Below is a note we just received from Baxter's family.

It's important to note: for as much as Baxter's life was RADICALLY changed by adoption, the other half of this truth is that life for Judy and me (and her Hallee-mini-Schnauzer) was also RADICALLY changed for the better with Baxter's Rescue/adoption.
Baxter now enjoys 10 acres of Northern Vermont, including the presence of 2 bow-hunters who have dragged deer across our property and reawakened Baxter's DNA memory which has been wondrous to share. Baxter is slowly reawakening to being a free-spirit Akita in a family cluster where he is adored, cherished, and nurtured. His days are filled with cold mountain mornings, gorgeous visTas overlooking Lake Champlain, and the scent of nature- deer, black bear, turkeys, even rumored presence of moose! When he's out for morning ablutions (isn't that a great Brit term?) He's bounding, playful, and in his element. During the day he's protective of his home- our neighbors came up the hill to say hello and Baxter's voice was truly authoritative...he curls up for ear-scratching and back-scratching...lies on Judy's side of the bed every night...and in the morning as we awaken, his Keiter-talk is proud and deep...if I had a dozen of him, my life would be heaven.

He has brought such joy in creating our family- and we adore our Rescue: Baxter.
Life is Grand, and he so contributes to that.
