My story

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

Meet Jax, a stunning 1-year-old Alaskan Husky with striking good looks and
eyes that could melt snow. At 82 pounds, he’s no small guy — but his love
is every bit as big as he is! Jax can be a little shy when meeting new
people, often choosing to play first and warm up on his own terms, but once
you’ve earned his friendship, you’ll have his heart forever. Beneath that
gentle reserve is a playful soul who loves to run, explore, and soak up
every bit of joy life has to offer.


Jax is athletic, potty trained, and knows his basic commands. He’s also a
total gentleman — he sits before his kennel door opens and again before
heading out for a walk. Since arriving at the shelter, he’s made tremendous
progress, growing more confident and social every day. His eyes light up
when he sees familiar faces, and he’s been making new friends left and
right.


If you’re looking for a loyal, active companion with a beautiful spirit and
endless potential, Jax is ready to meet you — and he can’t wait to show you
just how much love one Husky can give.
