About Jax

Jax is a cheerful, easygoing boy who was picked up as a stray by a kind passerby. Despite the rough start, he’s bounced right back and hasn’t lost his trust in people. Estimated at 3 to 4 years old, Jax still brims with playful energy and would make a solid hiking companion. He’s happiest out on long walks, discovering new scents, tossing his toys, or curling up for a cuddle when the day winds down. Jax is a truly affectionate dog—always ready for attention, but never demanding. His friendly temperament shows in how well he plays with other large dogs, and he thrives when he’s included in the action. Recently neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and microchipped, Jax is healthy and house trained. He’s just waiting for a new person to give him the stable, loving home he deserves.
