My story

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

🐾 Meet Jax – The Sweetest Gentleman in Bakersfield! 🐾



This handsome 2-year-old black and white boxer mix showed up at our driveway skin-and-bones, hungry, and covered in fleas. We gave him food, water, and some much-needed TLC — and he’s been nothing but grateful ever since.



Jax is the definition of gentle. He’s great with big dogs, little dogs, and even cats (he got hissed at once and decided cats are clearly the bosses). He’s not aggressive at all — in fact, he’s been known to politely back away when smaller dogs get bossy.



✅ Neutered

✅ Microchipped (will be transferred to us)

✅ Vaccinated

✅ Crate trained (sleeps through the night!)

✅ Mastered the doggie door

✅ Treat-taking champion (soft mouth, perfect sit)



He’s the kind of dog who will happily be your walking buddy, couch companion, and best friend all in one. He also has this beautiful black coat with chocolate brown highlights throughout. Its very cool!

Located in Bakersfield, CA and ready to find his forever home!

More about this rescue

Mutts and Runts Rescue was founded in 2017 after seeing the numerous strays, neglected and often abused animals in Bakersfield. Being a transplant, Brandi Reed was taken by surprise of the overpopulation of dogs and knew she needed to do something. In her first year, 100 dogs were placed into loving homes.

Our rescue dogs typically consist of strays and severe medical cases. With limited fosters and volunteers, our long term goals are to improve our community outreach and financially assist other rescues when they take in cases we aren't able to physically assist.

Mutts and Runts has extended to serve Reno, Nevada. Reno, having a large dog friendly community, has the opposite problem of Bakersfield- they don’t have enough dogs for people willing to adopt. Together, we’re able to help more dogs get their happy ending with loving families, additional support of fosters, volunteers, fundraising, and access to a wonderful rehab facility.
