Baxter

Baxter is a 4-year-old red pit bull who is very quiet in the shelter.

He is house trained and has great manners. He walks nicely on the leash and is very affectionate, and likes well-mannered children and other dogs.

Baxter is not a fan of cats, and needs to be on a runner when left outside as he can jump over 7-foot high fences. Baxter has been at the Reno Humane Society for almost a year and is hoping that a change of scenery to Tahoe will change his luck in finding a new home.

Baxter is neutered, microchipped, tested for heart worm, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes. Go to the Tahoe animal shelter’s Facebook page to see photos and descriptions of all pets at the shelter.

Call 530.573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
