Jax looks like the textbook case of a heartbreaker with his sweet face, and he’s had more than one major life change already. Originally loved by a young owner who couldn’t keep him long-term, Jax was then left with grandparents who struggled to match his energy and ended up keeping him mostly outside. Despite that rough stretch, Jax has stayed loving and is now working on his skills with a professional trainer—he’s already showing real promise. His friendly, outgoing nature stands out in any crowd, and at 2 years old, this Golden Retriever/Duck Tolling Retriever mix still acts like a huge, playful puppy. Weighing around 45 lbs, Jax thrives on affection and loves toys and chews. He gets along with other dogs (no known history with cats), and he’s always looking to be someone’s shadow—if you want a loyal companion who wants to stick by your side, he’s your guy. His heart’s in the right place, but he’ll need a home willing to keep up the good work on manners and structure. All his general vet care is up to date: neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and vaccinated. Jax just needs an adopter ready to give him the guidance and attention he’s missed out on, and he’ll pay you back in spades. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
