About Jax

Meet Jax, an incredibly handsome German Shepherd who is eager to find his forever home. At three years old and weighing about 66.40 lbs, this affectionate boy loves being close to his humans. He spent two years in a loving home before being surrendered to PACC, and his previous family noted that he gets along well with kids and both small and large dogs. Jax is trained to stay home alone and enjoys his toys and car rides. Staff and volunteers have quickly fallen for his friendly and happy demeanor. One passionate volunteer shared, “Jax is just such a good boy! He’s smart and well-behaved, a perfect companion.” Jax is available for adoption or long-term foster care. Interested adopters must visit PACC before the close of business on Sunday, October 11th, to connect with a counselor about him. Jax does have a history of occasional resource guarding, so it’s recommended to work with a qualified trainer for any introductions. With your love and guidance, he can become an even more wonderful companion. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
