Pet of the Week: Adopt Baxter

Each week, Prince William County Animal Shelter spotlights an animal ready for adoption.

Baxter is between 8 and 10 years old, around 36 pounds, and "was returned to the shelter because his people didn't feel he was a good fit for them after all," according to a post on the shelter's Facebook page.

"This Beagle boy hasn't forgotten the days of his youth, and while he might not suit in a family with other small pets, Baxter is said to do well with kids," the post notes.

The animal shelter is located at 14807 Bristow Road, across from the Prince William County Landfill on Dumfries Road (Rt. 234).

Hours are 11-5, Tuesday through Friday; 10-4, Saturday; noon to 4, Sunday. Contact at 703-792-6465 or animalshelter@pwcgov.org.
