My story

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

Meet Jax! This 5½-year-old, 56 lb pup is the total package—smart, playful, and full of personality. He listens well, knows a few tricks, and loves nothing more than a good game of fetch with his favorite ball.

Jax walks nicely on leash, keeps his kennel clean, and has a fun, spunky side that will keep you smiling. He also gets along great with other dogs, but will require a home with no cats.

He’s already been tested negative for heartworms and Lyme disease, and he’s neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and ready to go home. Jax has been waiting since March 2024 for his forever family—could it be you?
