About Jax

Jax is a 7.5-year-old male Yorkshire Terrier weighing 15 lbs. He’s currently with his owner but is ready for a foster-to-adopt situation to reduce the stress of moving again. Jax is known to be a loving little guy who thrives on attention and needs regular potty breaks. He enjoys playing fetch for hours if you’re willing to join in the fun. Used to a fenced yard, he will need some leash training since he gets excited and pulls when he sees other dogs during walks. Jax has a typical terrier temperament—sweet yet a bit protective and anxious at times. He would do best with someone familiar with the breed who can spend ample time at home. If you think you can offer the loving home Jax deserves, please take a moment to fill out an application. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
