My name is BAYNARD!

Baynard is a 5-year-old male who came to us as a stray. This big guy may seem a little intimidating at first—he’s standoffish and defensive, often barking and growling when approached. However, he’s shown some willingness to connect, accepting treats even while vocalizing his uncertainty.With a slow and patient approach, Baynard allowed gentle petting through the kennel door, suggesting there’s a softer side waiting to emerge. He may also be a bit protective over his food, so a home that understands his boundaries and can give him the time he needs to trust will be key.Baynard is looking for an experienced and understanding adopter who can provide a calm, structured environment to help him feel secure and confident.
