From Hoops to Hounds: Former UNC Basketball standout gives pups a new way to play

Posted May 9, 2025
It’s 7:30 a.m., and Baden Jaxen (formerly Dexter Strickland) is meeting his first client of the day at Raleigh’s Jaycee Park. After Jaxen gives the pup a pat on the head, the two trot over to a yellow minibus parked nearby (Video). "I’m waiting on a few more to arrive and then we’ll go start our pickups," he says as he buckles his furry friend into a seat. (UNC.edu)
