BAXTER IS SAFE AND WARM!!!!!!!


After a busy day of sightings, flyering, and feeding stations, Baxter is now resting comfortably in the safety of a nice warm crate with some homemade food!!

Debra and Nancy were out checking feeding stations at around 6 PM tonight and happened to spot Baxter resting in the area that was thought to be his temporary den/hiding spot. They calmly sat on the ground and fed him roast beef to keep him happy while waiting for reinforcements. Kelly Spring dropped everything (I'm not sure she was watching the Super Bowl, but it's possible) and drove through the treacherous streets to join in the hunt. After configuring everybody just right (blocking the two possible exits), Kelly moved in and eventually had Baxter eating out of her hand and then she was able to slip a slip-lead over his head.

Thank you so much to everybody who has helped in this search! It wouldn't have been possible without all of the flyering, emailing, sighting calls, feeding stations checks, etc. Baxter is back to safety because of you!

  3. Way to go guys! This is great news! Just as good as the Saints winning the Superbowl (at least they're about to). Thank you to NBC4 for the publicity!

  4. I'm so glad to hear that Baxter is now home safe and warm. I help on transport legs, and losing a dog is one of my greatest fears. Thank you to everyone that had a part in his rescue.
