Baxter and the Power of Mud

Baxter has been waiting 999 days for a forever home. Living at the animal shelter, he dreams of the day someone will choose him. But Baxter has a problem-he loves mud! No matter how many baths he takes, he always finds a way to get dirty again. As the big Adoption Event approaches, his friends Jasmine, Rory, and Lucky work hard to clean him up so he can make a great first impression. But when a couple looking for an adventurous hiking buddy arrives, they don't see Baxter for who he truly is. That is, until Baxter does what he does best-dives straight into the mud! Will Baxter's love of dirt finally lead him to the perfect family? A heartwarming story about friendship, self-acceptance, and finding the people who love you just the way you are, Baxter and the Power of Mud is the first adventure in the Jasmine's Paws & Tales series, celebrating the magic of shelter pets and the joy of second chances.
