About Jax

Meet Jax, a charming and handsome German Shepherd who is ready for his forever home. At around 3 years old, he weighs in at 66.4 lbs and brings a lot of love and joy wherever he goes. Jax was adopted from The Humane Society, but after two years, he found himself at PACC. His previous family shared that he excels with children and gets along well with both small and large dogs. Well-behaved when left alone and house trained, he’s described as an affectionate couch potato who enjoys toys, car rides, and showing off his tricks. Jax has quickly made a name for himself at the shelter, receiving rave reviews from staff and volunteers alike. One fan mentioned, "I fell in love with Jax the first time I met him. He’s friendly, happy, and just such a good boy!" While he adores being close to his humans, potential adopters should note that he may guard attention from certain people and would benefit from muzzle training for new introductions. Jax is available for adoption or foster care, and he must meet that deadline soon. If you think Jax might be the right match for you, make plans to visit PACC in Tucson before the deadline to meet him. Let’s get you connected!
