About Jax

Meet Jax, a charming 9-year-old black and tan Miniature Dachshund looking for his forever home. Jax was surrendered due to family changes, but this handsome pup is in great health despite being classified as a senior. He has a vibrant spirit and thinks he’s tough while barking at strangers, showing a protective side for his chosen person. Once he warms up, he forms deep bonds quickly. He has a history of being both housebroken and crate-trained, though he seems to have spent too much time in a crate previously. Jax loves meeting other dogs, especially the ladies, and he’s getting neutered this week. At just 11 lbs, he may be small, but he has a big personality! Jax needs an adult home that understands the specific needs of dachshunds, such as keeping him lean and protecting his delicate back. He’s already up to date on his vaccinations and is ready for an active lifestyle in Oak Ridge, NJ. Let Jax's next adventure begin with you!
