What's your dog’s favorite toy and/or go-to treat?

Baxter’s favorite toys are durable chews and tough play toys from his monthly subscription box. He loves anything he can gnaw on to burn energy, stay engaged, and keep his teeth clean. Stuffed toys aren’t really his thing—he prefers toys that can keep up with his border collie drive. Treats from the box are always a win.

What is your dog's most unique quality?

Baxter’s most unique quality is his gentle nature. He’s curious yet timid, friendly but bashful, and sweet as can be. Once he feels safe, he loves deeply and openly. He’s an absolute lover with a calm, affectionate presence that makes everyone feel special.

Why should your dog be America’s Favorite?

Baxter represents the best of modern dogs—resilient, gentle, and full of heart. A border collie rescue mix, he’s curious, bashful, and deeply loving. He balances playful energy with quiet sweetness, showing how rescue dogs thrive with patience and love. Baxter isn’t just photogenic—he’s a reminder that kindness, connection, and second chances are what truly make a dog America’s favorite.
