My story

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

Meet Jax! Jax is a lovable, cuddly boy with a heart as big as his paws. This gentle giant adores being close to his people—whether that means curling up to sleep beside you at night or happily relaxing in his crate while you’re away. One of his favorite things in the world is going for car rides, especially if they end with treats… which brings us to another of Jax’s true loves: food! Treats and mealtime make him extra happy, though he does have a funny (and mischievous) habit of snacking on paper if left alone, so a little supervision goes a long way. Jax is playful and fun, with a big love for frisbees, squeaky toys, and balls. He’s lived with children in the past and has shown himself to be incredibly gentle and sweet, making him a wonderful family companion. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate dog who’s equal parts cuddle buddy and playful pal, Jax might just be your perfect match.
