About Jaxx

Meet Jaxx At 8 years old and 42 lbs, Jaxx is stepping into a new chapter after being surrendered by his owner. Change isn't easy, but Jaxx seems ready to see what's next. His previous owner reports that he has some anxiety and does not enjoy being held (which feels fair... he's 42 lbs after all!). He prefers keeping all four paws on the ground and having his space respected. Jaxx has previously lived with other dogs and cats and reportedly did well, though he hasn't made any close dog friends at the shelter just yet. What we've seen? He's easy on leash, playful, and happy to engage. He enjoys moving, exploring, and being part of the action without needing to be carried around like a baby. Jaxx feels like a dog who just wants a steady routine, clear expectations, and someone ready for a loyal sidekick. He's 8 years young, past the puppy chaos, and ready for his next home.

About English Bulldog Dogs

English Bulldogs are medium-sized, muscular dogs with a distinctive wrinkled face, pushed-in nose, and stocky build. They are gentle, loyal, and surprisingly affectionate, forming deep bonds with their families. Their calm demeanor and love of naps make them excellent companions for relaxed households.

Adopting an English Bulldog brings a sweet-natured, devoted friend into your home. They are great with children, easygoing with other pets, and perfectly content with a short walk followed by a long nap on the couch. Their personality more than compensates for their modest exercise capacity.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

22°F to 38°F

Dec – Feb

Cold temperatures and regular snowfall require winter gear for pets, especially small and short-haired breeds. Sidewalk salt irritates paws, so rinse feet after every walk or use protective booties. Keep walks shorter on the coldest days and watch for antifreeze spills, which are toxic but attractive to pets.

Spring

38°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Cherry blossom season in Branch Brook Park is a spectacular backdrop for walks with your pet. Temperatures warm gradually, making this an ideal time for longer outings and socialization. Mud and puddles are common from snowmelt and spring rain, so plan for post-walk cleanups.

Summer

65°F to 87°F

Jun – Aug

Hot and humid conditions require scheduling walks for early morning or after sunset. Urban heat island effects can make pavement dangerously hot, so check ground temperature before heading out. Carry water for your pet and seek shaded paths in parks whenever possible.
