My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Four-year-old Jaxson thought he was just being a freewheeling venturer before getting picked-up for being unlicensed. No one claimed him, so we gave him a place to wait until he finds a home. While he has been with us, he has been neat in his room, and wriggles with delight when anyone stops to give him some love. We've got a serious tail-wagger here.

This compact (40 pound), muscular dog is all set to learn what is expected of him. He has already learning to sit when directed and also to wait before a door is opened. When asked, he behaves well while on leash walks.

He seemed to want to play with dog-curious kitties, but he could be overwhelming for some kitties..

Jaxson is the clean-cut yellow of a Labrador. And by the look of his charcoal lips, he may have some Black-mouth Cur (Old Yeller type dog) in his bloodline. We don’t know his mix for sure, but we know for sure that he is smart and good-looking.

*update: on a recent outing to a lake-- Jaxson was perfect in the car and didn't blink an eye at the noisy pond geese. But, he couldn't get enough of meeting new people. Loving people is his favorite pastime.

Jaxson always seems to look on the bright side of things. Bring him into your life to see the world from his optimistic viewpoint.
