Story
👑✨ Meet Jax: Your Little Prince in Curls ✨👑
Please note: Jax is a truly wonderful dog, but after spending his life being used for breeding, he has some specific needs. We are committed to finding him a home that isn’t just a fit — but his forever.
Highlights:
✅ Dog, cat, and kid friendly
✅ Best suited for a calm home (think retired couple or low-key household, he would not thrive with a young busy family)
✅ Needs patience with potty training + confidence building
Once upon a time, an 8-year-old, 21-pound Miniature Poodle named Jax was ready to leave his past behind and find his happily ever after. This handsome little gentleman may be small, but his heart is royal-sized.
Jax walks beautifully on a leash and gets along well with other dogs, does fine with cats, and is gentle and kind with kids.
As a breeder surrender, Jax is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. He may take a little time to warm up, and he’s still working on his house-training skills, but with patience and kindness, he blossoms more each day. Jax has spent so much of his life in a kennel, that he prefers the opportunity to free roam in a home. He is not destructive when left out. He does well wearing belly bands while perfecting his potty training skills.
💙 The Kind of Home Jax Needs 💙
Jax is what we lovingly call a “Velcro dog” — he bonds deeply to his person and thrives on connection, reassurance, and consistency. Because of this, he does best in a home where he can truly be a priority.
While Jax is good with children and has a very gentle nature, he is not the right fit for a busy home with young kids. The noise, activity, and divided attention can be overwhelming for him. He would do best in a calm home with adults or older kids where he can get the time, structure, and attention he needs to feel safe. Visiting grandkids or occasional kiddos are totally fine!
Jax will also need continued support with potty training and some mild anxiety as he adjusts. He’s not difficult — just a sensitive boy who needs someone willing to guide him and give him time to settle in.
Jax truly benefits from canine companionship. While he doesn’t require someone to be home all day, he would do best with another friendly dog to help him feel safe and supported.
All this sweet prince needs now is a forever kingdom to call his own — ideally with a furry sibling by his side. Multiple meet and greets are encouraged to help him build a bond and ensure the best fit.
We truly believe Jax will blossom with the right person. Will you be the one to give him his happily ever after? 💙🐾
