Story
Jaxson is a 3 yr old male. House broke and will let you know when he needs to go out by scratching at door. Loves kids, loves to run and chase balls in the yard. He is an inside dog but I do keep him out when I have to leave to town. He is a very loving boy and loves attention. He is trained to kennel up when I leave for work. He knows sit, down, kennel, off, ball, walk, treat, Shake. He likes to share the bed with you but also knows to stay in kennel at night as well with the door to the kennel open. He will bark at people outside and when they knock but is a real sweetie once they enter.The fee is $50 local within 30 miles. After 30 miles the fee goes up $25 for every 25 miles added after 30 if I have to transport. If picking up fee goes down to $40. Comes with bed, 2 kennels, toys and his kennel blanket. Due to moving circumstances I can not take him with me. I have had him since he was 6 wks old so this breaks my heart.His Birthday is November 18th 2023. Not papered

Sadly she was left behind and left with my disabled mom, poor baby Athena is deaf. My mom has been doing all she can for her. She can't take her outside because of how strong she is. Athena is a sweet girl, she seems good with older kids and may knock over small children, because she get so excited. I haven't seen her around cat. She seems good around other dogs.
