My story

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

Hi there! My name is Jax and I am an adorable black curly-haired dog who is smart, affectionate and handsome -- a combination that can't be beat! I am super friendly and have never met a person that I didn't like. I am also great with kids and other dogs. As a matter of fact, I have lived with young children in my previous home and we all got along great. And it has been reported that I have really good house manners and am crate trained. I am also a really smart dog who already knows the cues for sit, paw and down. And I love a good game of fetch -- I will even bring the ball back to you. I could play that game all day! I am going to make a great family dog, but I could also do well in a single household. In general, I am a great dog and anyone would be lucky to have me! So if you think I could be the one for you, hurry on down to the shelter so we can meet. I am actually quite the catch!
