Story
We rescued Jax 4 years ago, and he's become a beloved member of our family that we are heartbroken to have to re-home due to new jobs with travel and commutes. Jax is a nearly 7 year old boxer mix... a 70 pound dog who would love to sit in your lap and give lots of sloppy kisses if you let him! Jax is a sweetheart, whether curled at your feet in the family room, playing keep-away with the kids, or running with his doggie friends around the backyard. Jax's main challenge is separation anxiety: He spent over a year in the shelters after being abandoned by his previous family, and still suffers from anxiety if left alone at home. We've worked with him to gradually build up to being at home for an hour, or with another dog, but haven't been able to be consistent in his training in this area. The perfect home for Jax will have a large enclosed yard, one or more doggie companions, and loving humans around him! $50 donation to your local shelter required.

Story
Cal is the sweetest boy you could ever find. He's smart and motivated, loves working on his training, and he seems like he could be an expert in sporting competitions or nosework with the right training. His favorite game is fetch, and he loves all toys (especially the squeaky ones). Hell find his favorite, and ask you to play! He can be reactive to some dogs at first (though he's made a lot of progress with his leash manners!), but when he makes a friend, they're friends for life. He also gets a little nervous around unfamiliar people or situations. We've been working a lot on building his confidence and learning that the world isn't a scary place, but he likely needs an experienced adopter who can keep coaching him to be as polite in public as he is at home. Right now, he isn't quite ready for daycare, boarding, or a dog walker, so we need to find him a home where those aren't as vital in the near term. Hopefully your home can be the place where he can live his best life!
