About Jax

Jax has a gentle spirit and a heart full of gold. At first, he might hang back with new people, but it doesn't take long for his loving side to come out—he relishes attention and would settle happily as a lap dog. Jax enjoys playtime with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and he’s also friendly with cats, which makes him easy to fit into multi-pet households. Sudden noises and small children can make him uneasy, so a home with older kids would be a better match. He isn’t aggressive, just sensitive to the rush and clatter of a bustling environment. Once he feels at home, you'll see just how affectionate and sweet this little mixed breed can be. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
