🐾 Meet Jax, the wonderful Sheltie who's ready to find his forever home! This sweet, tricolor boy is not just any pet; he’s a gentle soul with a personality full of quirks and charm! At 9 years old, Jax has learned to embrace the joys of life with a loving foster mom who’s been nurturing him every step of the way. In his previous home, Jax showcased his herding instincts, which made him a little anxious around young kids. But oh, how he's grown! Making stellar progress, Jax is learning that he can be a playful and loving companion—no herding required! 🐶💖 Let’s talk about his traits. Weighing in at 26 pounds, this neutered boy is absolutely adorable. With a birthdate of July 12, 2016, he’s a Cancer! Did you know that Cancer individuals are known for their loyalty and intuitive nature? That’s Jax in a nutshell! He’s up-to-date with vaccines, crate-trained, and is excelling in both leash and house training. His foster mom describes him as a real gem! Jax is coming out of his shell, showing off his playful side! Whether he's fetching a toy or curling up for a cuddle, he’s on his way to becoming that delightful companion every home needs. 🫶 However, he’s hoping for a family who’s familiar with Shelties and is willing to provide him with the patient guidance he craves. As for those fun quirks, Jax is a bit sound-sensitive—especially when it comes to metal clangs—so he needs lots of encouragement to become brave! And while he’s not super interested in playing with other dogs just yet, he’s been practicing his social skills and improving every day! 🐾✨ He’s also known to sneak a sock or two if left unattended, so a watchful eye will be essential! Jax is filled with love and just a dash of mischief! He promises to bind so quickly with the right person, as he only needs a ton of kindness and respect to flourish. So, if you’re an active household with a fenced yard and can commit to taking Jax on those lovely walks he longs for, he just might be the buddy you’ve been searching for!
