RESCUE IS THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM
ADOPTED ON 10-03-15 - Little Jax has had a rough start in his first 3 years on this earth, but we have made a promise to him that he will never have to experience all these hardships ever again. Jax's foster mothers' son was helping a friend move furniture when he noticed a little dog outside next door. He was shivering as it was 20 degrees out and the dog appeared extremely malnourished. Her son went and knocked on the door next door and told them it was too cold for the dog to be outside. The tenants informed him, that it was not their dog and the previous owners had left him there. They said " we throw him some scraps.... every once in a while." Jax's foster mother's son was infuriated by this and he picked up Jax and put him in his truck and took him home. It was there that they bathed him and fed him, and gave him a warm place to sleep. Our foster said you could tell by the look on Jax's face he was extremely grateful. Jax has every reason in the world to hate humans, but he doesn't. He has lots of love to give, and is being shown that humans are good every day now.
Jax will be able to travel north on June 1, 2015.

RESCUE IS THE SOLUTION, NOT THE PROBLEM
Jax is a 3 year old male Chihuahua-poodle mix. He was recently neutered and up to date on vaccinations. Jax is Heartworm positive and currently receiving treatment. He will be able to come up North in April. Jax has a low activity level and loves to just curl up and sit in your lap. He is a little timid with new people at first, but once he realizes you are nice, you will have a new friend ready to cuddle! Jax does very well with dogs of all sizes, he likes to curl up next to his fosters older pit-bull and take naps. Jax sometimes likes to take food to his bed and stand guard over it. He will let the other dogs know that the food is his, but he has never shown any signs of aggression. His foster mother is able to take the food away and can even take it out of his mouth. He only shows disappointment when this happens. The foster is actively working on breaking this behavior. She feels that he does this just because he had gone hungry for so long, and always had to wonder when he would eat next. As time goes on, and Jax realizes that he will never have to wonder if food is coming again, we are confident that this behavior will diminish. He will be ready to come north the last part of April or the first part of May.
Jax loves to play with the other dogs and to fetch toys that are thrown. He also enjoys barking at squirrels and napping in the sunshine. He absolutely loves kids! He is very gentle, and even went to a few Little League games down south and was very polite with all the kids! House training is a work in progress, as he was just recently neutered. Jax rides fine in the car. Generally he is crated for his safety, but he also does fine loose. Jax is excellent in the crate and has wonderful leash skills.
The ideal home for Jax would be one where he could get lots of attention. He would be ideal for an elderly person, as his activity level is low and his favorite thing to do is curl up in someone's lap. On the other end of the spectrum he would also do well in a family with children, as he is very gentles and loves their company. It is preferred that his new family's yard be fenced in, but it is not a deal breaker. However, he should never be left unattended. His behavior with cats is unknown. This little guy has lots of love to give and is as sweet as can be. Do you have a spot for Jax in your lap and in your heart? Please fill out and adoption application if this sounds like the right match for you!!

Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!

Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting.
