Baxter is a 2-year-old Maltese in Newmanstwon, PA, who needs $1,800 for Inpatient care, I.V. fluids, Series of Xrays and Bloodwork.

Baxter was given to us on 02/24/2020. The folks had adopted him from another family and found themselves not able to care for him. So they rehomed him and we were chosen! Oh what a wonderful day that was! Our Baxter . He will be with us 2 years in February. I will never forget that day. It was wonderful! We love him so much and want him better!

Baxter is a very friendly little guy, but don't bother him when he's comfy and resting. He might get a little testy. Given all he went through in his first 4 months of life, he's doing very well. He has some health issues we are trying to get to the bottom of. He is currently hospitalized and on an IV.

Baxter is very funny when he sees a horse and buggy going down the road in front of our house. He goes absolutely nuts! I wish I knew what he was thinking. From the way he acts, he's ready to go bite the horses leg off lol! not really...... he is a loving, fun, and all around beautiful soul. He is very special to us because he has made such a positive difference in our lives.

Baxter has been having ongoing issues with getting sick. Most recently it started with his urination. He couldn't go enough. He was going excessively. And it brought out a strong urine odor, stronger than normal. Then he stopped eating and started shaking all over. Not from being cold (I don't think), but from being sick.

Illness. My husband's salary pays a good portion of our household bills. In June of this year, he had to have an aortic valve replacement, open heart surgery. He lost 4 months of pay because he does not receive sick time at his place of employment.
