My name is Jaxon!

Jaxon is ready to share his story! ❤

Fractured Jaw. Broken Leg. 8 Weeks old. You didn't expect me to survive. You let the unimaginable happen to me. I was just a baby...I deserved so much more. I didn't let my misfortune bring me down though. I tried to push on. I hobbled around until I found some yummy roadkill to munch on. That is when a very nice lady found me and took me in. From there she made a plea for me, and I ended up joining this rescue's fluffy butt family.

I was immediately taken to the vet. My leg was the most noticeable thing at the time and it turns out it was broken. Then, they noticed that I had a crooked jaw. Turns out that it was fractured, but my last family let me suffer. It ended up healing on its own, and it would cause more damage if we were to repair it than let it be. It is okay though. I realize that this isn't an "imperfection" but rather a sign that I am a fighter and I did not let you bring me down. I survived. I found an amazing organization that cares for me. And soon...soon I will find my forever family. One that will love me forever and ever, and never allow such terrible things to happen to me again.

My name is Jaxon and I am a 16 week old, 30lb male Great Pyrenees/Labrador Retriever mix. My leg has been fixed and I am using it more and more every day! I am coming up on my final series of puppy shots and am now ready to start the search for my forever family! <3
_____________________________

The thing about adopting is you should not do it unless you are absolutely ready. That means you can commit to me for the rest of my life. I am going to be so loyal to my family, and I ask the same in return!

To help make the decision process easier, I had my foster family fill out this questionnaire for me!

-How does your foster act when meeting new people?
Very friendly.

-Has your foster been to any public settings?
He went with my husband to the hardware store and really enjoyed all the attention he was given.

-Does your foster like going on walks?
Yes, we have been going on small walks to help strengthen his leg and he does very well.

-Would your foster like going on hikes?
Yes.

-Is your foster leash trained?
Yes, he is doing really well walking on the leash.

-How does your foster do on car rides?
Jaxon does great on car rides. He curls up in the seat and usually takes a good nap while he is riding around.

-Does your foster jump on people?
No.

-Describe your foster dog's energy level?
He’s kind of a combination of calm and playful. When he is inside he usually lays around but outside, particularly in the cooler weather, he has bursts of playfulness.

-Is your foster a big chewer?
Not so far. He loves chewing on those fake Nyla Bone Sticks though.

-Does your foster like to play fetch?
He does like to chase the ball.

-Does your foster like to play in the water?
Unsure. It is too cold out for that.

-Does your foster play with Toys?
Yes.

-Does your foster have food aggression towards other dogs?
No.

-Does your foster resource guard?
No.

-Do you think your foster would be okay with free-roam of the house even if you are away?
Not yet. He is a little young still and not fully potty trained yet.

-Is your foster potty trained?
Not yet but he has very few accidents.

-Is your foster kennel trained?
He has spent time in a kennel while he was recovering from his surgery and did really well.

-Where does your foster stay when no one is home?
He has his own little space where he stays when no one is home.

-Where does your foster sleep at night?
Jaxon has upgraded to sleeping with us at night. He does great and can hold his bladder all night.

-Would your foster dog do good in an apartment?
No, I think he will be too big for that.

-Is your foster a big barker?
Has done very little barking but when he does look out. He has a total Pyrenees bark, lol

-Is your foster good with other dogs?
Yes.

-How does your foster act around other dogs?
Playful.

-Does your foster need another dog in his new home?
Not if someone is home most of the time.

-Is your foster good with cats?
Yes, but he really wants to play with the cat.

-Is your foster good with kids?
Jaxon loves kids and because he can’t jump he is really good to have around them.

-What would be your foster's ideal home?

I think Jaxon would love to have another dog to play with but any home where he gets lots of attention would be ok with him.

-What else can you tell me about your foster?

Has life ever knocked you down so hard that you just wanted to give up? You can’t imagine things will ever get better? Jaxon is a true example of what can happen if you hold on for one more day. The pain and agony that this pup went through is unthinkable but he never quit hoping. He never quit believing something better would happen. He is a true story of triumph and has an amazing spirit. He would have every right to be angry but he isn’t. He is one of the happiest little dogs you will ever meet. This is the life he knew was possible and he wants to share his joy with everyone from the cat and other dogs to the kids and humans that surround him. He doesn’t let anything slow him down and it doesn’t occur to him that things might be more difficult in his situation. He’s just so happy to be alive and to have a second chance at living life that you can’t help but be lifted up by his presence. You will never meet another dog that is more loving and more determined than this guy ❤️

Now that you know everything there is to know about me, it is time to talk logistics!

-How can someone adopt me?
The first step is to fill out an adoption app for me at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app

Once this app comes in, it will get sent on to my foster family and they will help me decide if we are a match or not.

-Where are you being fostered?
I am being fostered in Skiatook, OK.

-Would I need to come to pick you up?
Yes, you would need to pick me up. This rescue does not send us on transports. It is less stress on us that way. Plus, you and I can already start bonding on the road trip home! 😉

-Can I adopt you even though I don't live in Oklahoma?
Yep, I am not opposed to living in another state!

-How much is your adoption fee?

My adoption fee is $275.

That includes two sets of puppy shots and wormings. I will also have had a bordetella. I will be micro-chipped, have a fecal done, be de-wormed, be spayed/neutered, and will be current on heart-worm and flea/tick prevention

*This will also include his third puppy shots, Rabies, and his leg surgery.
