ALONDRA

A beautiful dog with a beautiful life.

Dandy loves to play "dress up" (sort of)

Well, here is little Dandy! He finally found a wonderful home after
several months in foster. Previously named Newt, he was on a PTS list
and was rescued on his last day. But luckily, he got a new leash on
life! He was fostered with a wonderful family in Mountain View and they
adored him.

Fortunately, in his new home he as a little girl to play with. He watches over
her very carefully to make sure that she is safe at all times. They play
and spend hours together every day when she comes home from school.

Nothing gives us greater joy here at Baxter and Friends than the
wonderful journey that a homeless dog takes that ends at a happy home!

Sparky is so handsome!

Sparky loves to sit by the door and wait for you!

Sparky- a loveable Cocker Spaniel

Of course you know how much we love our Cocker Spaniels!
Sparky is a loving , affectionate boy. He is great with children
and other dogs.
He has been in a foster home for months now.
He is a 3 year old neutered male with a beautiful coat.
Sparky is one of the prettiest Cockers we have ever seen!
Just loves to sit on your lap and be cuddled!

Skippy- The most wonderful little boy needs a home!

Here is Skippy, and he awaits is new adoptive home where he will be loved
and given a second chance to have a forever home. Skippy was surrendered
to the local Animal Shelter and made to sit and wait in a cage. He is a lucky
boy because we found him and we will be so happy to find him a new home.
Skippy is a one year old Pomeranian male. He is neutered and up to date
on all shots. Skippy is gentle and sweet and we want him to
be in a home with adults who will pay him attention. He is very
adorable but we don't want young children who are going to
roughhouse with him and pull his fur. He is very very gentle and sweet.

Please email Sue at Baxterandfriends@yahoo.com if you are interested
in Skippy.

Lovely little Daisy looking for a home

Daisy is a new little addition to Baxter and Friends. Daisy is a terrier mix. She is under ten pounds and just
over one year old. Daisy is just the sweetest little thing! Her family had no time for
her, so they just left her on the balcony of their apartment and gave her food
and water, but no attention. Finally one of our foster parents talked the
owners into giving Daisy to our rescue.
We would like to find a nice home where Daisy can get attention and love.
Please email Sue at BaxterandFriends@yahoo.com if you want to find
out more about Daisy.

RAVEN, waiting for a home

Raven is a sweet little papillon mix. He is four years old. Mostly all he wants to do is cuddle.
He is not the type to go on hikes. He would be perfect for an older person because he loves
to sit on the couch. He gets along well with other dogs and all kinds of people. He is
quiet, friendly, and cuddly.
Please email Sue at Baxterandfriends@yahoo.com if you would like to meet Raven.

SYDNEY- STILL LOOKING FOR A HOME

Sydney is weird-looking, but some people really like that in a dog!

Of course he is unusual, but then, that might be a good thing.

At any rate, we are still hoping for someone to come along who

might want him as their permanent adoption. Sydney is two years

old and we think he is a Yorkie-terrier mix.

MUNCHIE found a HAPPY HOME!

Munchie (formerly Sparky) has found a

wonderful home! We are so happy for him.

He has two little girlfriends who are little

Papillons like him. When we took him to the

home for his "meet and greet" he just laid

down on the cool floor as if to say, "I'm home

now. Don't try to take me away from this place"

  Munchie's new owner is a writer and Munchie

nestles at her feet when she writes.

ADOPTED!! Pinkerton is happy in his new home

Pinkerton and Buddy got a wonderful home together with a family who loves them both and takes
them on long walks. They are so happy~!

Penelope's new "mommy"

Penelope found a home with a family. 

Eva is a years old girl and she just loves

Penelope. Eva's Mom overheard Eva

whispering in Penelope's ear, "I'M your 

Mommy now!"

Furr-ever homes found for these cute dogs!

Denver found a lovely home with Judy in Napa.

He is quite happy there and he plays in a vineyard

when he is not napping on the couch with the cat!

Furr-ever homes found for these cute dogs! Adoptions

Bubu found a home with Arvin and Ray.

They also adopted a second dog from the

same foster home, named Ben. Bubu and

Ben are crazy about each other and also

crazy about Arvin and Ray

Success Story- PUDGY

Pudgy is a little five year old black pug. His owner passed away

suddenly and the family came to us to find a home for him.

Luckily we were able to find a home with two very loving

parents and a little lonely Puggle named Pugsly. When

Pudgie and Pugsly met it was love at first sight.

The family of Pudgie said he had not smiled in a long

time, and now he wrestles with Pugsly and smiles

all the time!

Millie Jo happy in her Wisconsin home

Millie Jo found a home in Wisconsin with Jill and Marty! They love her so much, and everyone thinks
Millie is the perfect dog. Millie is the perfect family dog, and everyone loves to pass her around and
she sleeps on their laps. Millie's two best friends are cats, and they actually all play together. She
is getting used to the snow, though, and has a warm jacket and little boots!
Millie Jo is a little ten month old Petite Brussels Griffon.

She was rescued from a Shelter and was classified as unadoptable

because she had an umbilical hernia.

We had it repaired when we had her spayed and she

is running around and playing right now. Millie Jo is

teeny but a force of nature!

She is currently in a foster home (and they might adopt her)

but please email us at Baxterandfriends@yahoo.com if

you are interested!

Cocker Reunion PARTY

In May we had a Reunion of the "Royal Seven", and four Cocker and their owners attended.
They were part of a group of seven Cocker Spaniels that were found together in an Industrial
area of Commerce, California. We had a great time and all the dogs and owners were happy
to meet each other and the dogs were happy to be reunited!

Here is how it happened. In August of 2008, I decided to quit rescuing. As you know, rescue is
a difficult endeavor. It is expensive, exhausting, and almost impossible at times. So I decided
that I was quitting rescue for good. But wouldn't you know it, the next day I got a call from
someone who had found a family of SEVEN adult Cocker Spaniels running around. They
asked if I could help. I knew right then that unless I said yes, the Cockers would all go
to the Shelter, so I said yes. I named them all after the Royal Family. Queen Elizabeth,
Princess Anne, Princess Diana, Prince Harry, Prince Charlie, Prince William and King George.

The attendees in the photo, from left to right, are; Suzanne and Prince William, Marta and
Ava (Princess Diana), Olivia and Esther (Queen Elizabeth) and Chuck and Ruthie (Princess Anne)

Everyone had a great time and next fall I hope to get the whole gang together!
