Story
Located with me in Fayetteville, NC -
Jax is a 7 month old Border Collie mix puppy.
We're told BC/Lab mix.
He is for certain 100% adorable in a small package.
Jax is currently 28 lbs and we DO NOT expect him to exceed 40 lbs when he's fully grown.
He is medium to high energy.
Jax is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, and on monthly Heartworm and flea/tick prevention.
Jax loves cuddles, belly rubs and gives the best puppy kisses. His tail never stops wagging. He's one very happy, affectionate boy that loves big.
He loves playing with toys and running zoomie laps around the yard with his foster pack.
He does great with sharing his toys with other dogs, too.
He is fully house and crate trained.
Jax will need his adopter to be willing to give him outlets to burn off his energy.
This can be done with walks, engaging him in training, playing, puzzle toys, etc.
He loves anything that includes attention from his person.
While he is an energetic boy, he does settle and will happily entertain himself with toys.
He's very smart and already does great on leash in public.
He knows the commands for sit, down, and paw/shake.
He has learned "leave it" and is making good progress on learning "wait".
That last one is just a little hard for him because it requires him to contain his happy, excited self in one spot.
He loves car rides, especially if it's going for a pup-cup.
🐾The ideal home for Jax is with a person that is willing to continue positive based training and with someone that has time to give him outlets to burn his energy.
🐾A fully fenced yard is ideal so he can safely run out those zoomies.
🐾Preferably a home with another playful dog as he absolutely loves his foster pack.
With that said, it is very important for any other dog in the home to be tolerant of a very playful, energetic Jax. He would be overwhelming for a senior dog if he doesn't have another younger playmate in the home.
🐾He has shown interest in chasing after the neighbor cats, so a cat free home would probably be best.
🐾Jax is NOT suited for apartment living.
🐾He adores children, but being that he is still learning to contain his excitement when playing and greeting people, children 5 years and up would be best.
Jax is one amazing boy and is so full of potential and love to give. If you think he's the one for you, please submit an application at the link below.
