Jax is currently in a foster home so that he can gain confidence.
Here is a recent update from Jax's foster mom!
"Jax is a very shy and timid boy. He truly wants to be the best boy, but people make him so nervous. He loves treats/food but does take time to eat it if people are around. He loves every dog that he comes into contact with. Jax is a totally different dog when he is outside. He runs around and looks so happy! His favorite is to carry sticks around and have other dogs chase him. Jax would benefit from a confident dog in the household to help him see that humans aren't so bad. He has done great with my two small dogs, but he seems to thrive more with a bigger dog. He walks really well on a leash (especially with a harness) and has been very good about going potty outside. He is on anxiety medication now, which he had helped significantly. He needs someone to be patient with him. Someone who will let him break out of his shell on his own time, which might take time."
Jax's Story: Meet Jax, an 11 month old Pittie mix with possibly a hint of Chow Chow in his unique blend. Jax's journey to finding his forever home began when he came from an overcrowded shelter that needed help and welcomed into the loving arms of PCHS. At first, Jax may appear a bit shy, but give him a moment, and you'll witness his heartwarming transformation. He's a sweet and sensitive soul who warms up, revealing a playful and affectionate side that's impossible to resist. With his expressive eyes and sweet personality, Jax has never had a home to call his own, but he's eagerly awaiting the opportunity to become someone's cherished companion.
Jax's ideal home would include another canine companion, as he thrives in the company of fellow dogs, which helps him gain the confidence he deserves. His journey is a testament to the resilience of shelter animals and the life-changing impact of a loving home. With a little patience and a lot of love, Jax is ready to fill your life with boundless joy and unwavering loyalty, making your home complete with his presence.
Adoption fee $350 + $30 microchip fee + tax

Paws and Claws Humane Society (PCHS) is a non-profit, mostly volunteer organization that rescues and shelters homeless cats and dogs until they can be adopted into their “forever” homes. We want our clients to understand that adopting and animal is a lifetime responsibility and commitment to that animal.
All prospective adopters must show (at the time of adoption) a valid drivers license or other acceptable identification to verify their name, address, and age. Adopters must be 18 yrs of age. Children under the age of 12 years old need to be present at time of viewing shelter cats or dogs.
After submitting an application, there is generally a processing period of 1-3 days in order to complete all pre-adoption checks and paperwork before an adopter may take possession of the animal.
