Jaxon is from Texas. He was found there, wandering in an industrial area, presumably abandoned. He was brought into rescue after his stray hold was up, and now it's time to find him a home of his own here in Minnesota. Jaxon is a sweet young dog, with lots of energy and a sweet and spunky personality. He loves his people with his whole heart. He will steal their shoes, not to chew, but to cuddle up with in his kennel or dog bed. He will consistently seek out his people for affection. Jaxon is mostly potty trained, but has marking incidents. He has just recently been neutered, and should most likely lose that urge to mark. Belly bands have been the solution for his Texan foster family, butt hey should not be needed long term. Jaxon is crate trained and sleeps in a crate in his foster family's bedroom at night. Jaxon is less enthusiastic about going into the kennel during the day when his people need to leave, but will settle nicely if given a treat filled kong or other sort of enrichment activity while kenneled. Jaxon will also walk on a leash, but needs his leash manners polished. Jaxon is looking for a family that will incorporate him into their busy lives. Taking him for nightly walks to explore his new home, and cuddling up on the couch with him while watching a movie to relax. Any place is a good place as long as his people are there with him.
