About Jax

Jax is a young Affenpinscher with a sweet spirit, just starting to learn what it means to be loved. He hasn't had the best start in life and is still getting comfortable around people. However, he gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making him a great playmate for any canine companions. Jax will need some guidance with leash training and building trust, but he's eager to learn. Given his small size, a privacy fence is advisable since he has quite the jumping ability. We're not sure how he would do with children or cats at this time, so a careful introduction is recommended. He is altered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and ready to find his forever home. To meet Jax and see if you're a match, please visit PAWS during business hours or call for more information. He's waiting for the right family to give him the love he deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
