Baxter Busche

🐾 Meet Baxter Busche, CHO (Chief Happiness Officer) Baxter Busche is more than just the face of The Baxter Busche Foundation LLC—he's the heart, soul, and tail-wagging spirit behind everything we do. As our official Chief Happiness Officer, Baxter brings boundless joy, unshakable loyalty, and an uncanny ability to brighten every room (and Zoom meeting) he enters. With his signature head tilts, perfectly timed snuggles, and deep commitment to spreading smiles, Baxter plays a paws-on role in guiding the Foundation’s mission. The idea for The Baxter Busche Foundation LLC was inspired by Baxter himself—a dog whose compassion, calm presence, and emotional intuition have made a lasting impact on everyone he meets. His ability to connect with people in meaningful, healing ways sparked the vision to create a foundation that celebrates the human-animal bond and supports the communities that benefit from it. The Baxter Busche Foundation LLC focuses on advancing animal welfare, working on both domestic and international fronts to help create a better world for dogs, supporting Nonprofits in their Fundraising needs, and promoting local animal wellness programs and events where animals like Baxter help humans heal, grow, and thrive. The United States has many issues including dog overpopulation, abuse, neglect and lack of education with regards to spaying and neutering pets. The Foundation is built on a platform of education, legislation, and activism. Through grants, education, and outreach, we aim to make the world a kinder, happier place—just like Baxter does every single day. Whether he’s attending board meetings (mostly for the snacks), visiting community programs, or simply leading by joyful example, Baxter reminds us all why we do this work: because love, connection, and a good belly rub can go a very long way.
