About Jaxson

Jaxson is a delightful 5-year-old cocker spaniel weighing around 30 pounds. He's a ball enthusiast who thrives on playtime in a fenced backyard. Jaxson is house trained, has fantastic leash manners, and enjoys car rides. Previously, he lived with a cat and does well around other dogs, plus he has experience with children, often hanging out with grandchildren. Though he's not fond of crates, he can comfortably stay home alone without any concerns. Since arriving with us, we've learned about Jaxson's Addison's disease, which he manages with a daily low-dose steroid pill and a monthly injection. He'll require these medications for life, but that doesn't dampen his spirit. Jaxson is fostered in Vienna, VA, where he continues to be an affectionate and joyful companion.
