About Jax

Meet Jax, a compact, high-energy chihuahua mix with a sweet and gentle nature mixed with an endless love for play. He’s around 3 years old, weighing in at about 8 pounds, and he comes from a home that couldn’t keep up with his lively spirit. Jax is always ready for fun—his foster mom jokes that he just doesn’t have an off-switch. He’ll happily engage any creature with legs in play, including cats, though he can pester them a bit, so only confident, dog-savvy cats should share his space. He gets along well with dogs of all sizes, as long as playmates are mindful of his small size, and would definitely benefit from a canine buddy to burn off his energy. Jax isn’t fully house trained yet and needs frequent potty breaks, but he’s making progress with leash walks and loves to nap as a cuddler once fully worn out. Although he’s content in his crate, he would much rather sleep with you on the bed. Barking isn’t a big issue for him unless he gets really excited or startled by other dogs or noises. Jax is neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm negative, microchipped, and has had a recent dental cleaning. If you’re looking for a dog who will fill your days with laughter and adventure, Jax is ready to meet you. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
