Baxter von Balge is a beautiful 3 year old Shepherd/Retriever mix. (best guess) Baxter was adopted from us about a year ago, but he was just returned because his owner is having health issues. Unfortunately, looks like Baxter was "loved with food", and is now at least 55 lbs overweight. We wanted to show you a couple of his older pictures, so you can see how handsome he will be once he sheds those pounds. Looking for a workout partner? He understands that he has to go on a diet and will appreciate the support of a watchful owner. Baxter is such a sweet boy, he loves his people and oher dogs, walks great on leash and is housebroken.
