A meaningful children's book gift for families, classrooms, and rescue supporters.

Baxter was lost, anxious, and out of time. So was I.
Then he nuzzled under my arm and rested his head on my leg — and everything changed.
This book is that moment, retold for every child who needs to know: love can find you anywhere.

Put a copy of Baxter's story in the hands of a child who needs it.

When you add a book to the BaxterDog School Donation Fund, you're contributing directly to getting Baxter's Second Chance into classrooms, school libraries, and learning programs that couldn't otherwise afford it.

BaxterDog Media collects all donations and distributes books to schools and libraries through our ongoing educator outreach program. Every quarter, we share an update on where donated books have landed.

How it works

  1. Add this to your cart and complete your purchase.
  2. Your $19 goes directly toward a hardcover copy of Baxter's Second Chance for a school or library in our outreach network.
  3. BaxterDog handles the rest — selecting the school, shipping the book, and sharing the story.
  4. Each quarter, we announce the schools and programs that received donated copies.

Why it matters

Many schools want books like Baxter's for their classrooms and libraries but don't have the budget to order them. Your donation puts a meaningful, mission-aligned story directly into the hands of kids who need it most.

  • 100% of this purchase goes toward a donated book
  • BaxterDog selects recipient schools through our educator network
  • Quarterly donation updates shared publicly
  • 50% of all BaxterDog profits already support dog rescue — this goes even further
