My story

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

Our adorable wheelchair pup, Jax, is still searching for his forever home!

Jax has settled into a wonderful foster home, where he enjoys snuggling and hopping around the room with his doggy foster brother, Dice, and being doted on by his foster family. But, our sweetest boy is still searching for a home of his own. Please share for Jax, who is sure to bring smiles and a special brightness to the right home!

Jax is a 2-year-old Frenchie / shih tzu who became paralyzed last summer after injuring himself jumping over a gate. He had disc surgery but didn't fully recover.


While the sad news is that Jax does not have full mobility, the amazing news is that he can zoom around adorably on wheels and can go to the bathroom on his own! Jax has some movement in his back legs and can do some spinal walking / drag himself. He is aware when he has to go potty and is working on his housebreaking. He, of course, comes with his own doggy wheelchair!

The best news is that Jax is a happy, energetic and adorable little guy at 22 pounds. He is fantastic with other dogs, and can usually be found sleeping or playing with his foster brother.

More about this shelter

Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge, Inc. is founded on the belief that all animals have a natural right to humane treatment including proper care and safe shelter. Due to overpopulation, there are insufficient homes for most cats and dogs. Some are lucky enough to find temporary shelter and a few even find permanent homes. However it is a devastating fact that the majority are either euthanized or forced to chance life without shelter.

To support our belief and to relieve the unnecessary suffering of animals, we shall:
1.Extend every effort to find, evaluate, and secure good adoptive homes for animals in our care.
2.Provide animals with medical services and behavior therapy to the extent of our ability.
3.Adhere to a “no-kill” policy: animals shall not be euthanized for the purpose of providing space for new animals.
4.Adhere to a 100% spay and neuter policy.
5.Maintain continuing humane education programs and in particular to schools.
