Story
Meet Jax!
A nearly seven-year-old Boxer mix from San Mateo, CA, with a tan coat that shines almost as brightly as his personality! Weighing in at a solid 70 pounds, Jax might think he's a lap dog with his affectionate, sloppy kisses and an unwavering desire to be close to his humans. Picture this gentle giant curled at your feet, or better yet, joining in a lively game of keep-away with gleeful children. His joy is palpable, especially when he performs his signature "jumping jax" at the mere mention of a walk!
Jax’s history reveals a resilience that's as heartwarming as it is inspiring. Despite his challenging past, including a year-long stint in a shelter, Jax has blossomed into a well-behaved companion, as long as he isn’t left alone. His separation anxiety manifests in some mischievous behavior when solo, but he’s perfectly content when other dogs or people are around—even if just in another room.
His love for the great outdoors is evident in his enthusiastic playdates and adventures at the local dog park, where he mingles with dogs of all sizes. His recall may need a little polish, especially if wildlife is involved—after all, who can forget the time he treed a bear during a mountain hike?
Living with Jax means embracing his high-energy spirit and managing his diet with high fiber kibble to suit his sensitive stomach. His medical history is notable for a mast cell tumor removed two years ago, but since then, he's been the picture of health!
Ideal for Jax is a home with an enclosed yard, constant canine or human companionship, and a routine that includes plenty of walks and playtime. He would thrive in an environment that matches his need for company and activity, ensuring his days are filled with joy and companionship!
Does your home have room for a big-hearted boxer mix with a love for life as grand as his size? Could you be the one to keep Jax's tail wagging happily ever after? If so, please contact us at adopt@joyfulpets.com and let's chat about the joy Jax can bring into your life!
