Being held is one of his favorite places to be! Like any puppy, Tater Tot loves his toys and is always excited for a game. He's also doing a fantastic job learning his potty-training routine and is eager to keep learning with a family who will continue to help him succeed.

Welcome back Jax (Newton) ❤️ Born 5/19/23, approximately 20lbs, neutered male Introducing Jax! Jax is looking for a new family, he was adopted as a puppy but was returned to rescue. Jax is a Mountain Cur/ Australian Cattle Dog and Rat Terrier mix, which means he is driven and craves attention. He has an eagerness to please that we don’t see in many dogs, making him a fantastic dog for someone who enjoys the outdoors, such as hiking, walking, camping or just a leisure walk around the neighborhood. Jax would also excel at agility or a similar activity, he is a quick and agile guy. Jax can be a bit possessive of his person and his toys so he needs a person who while give him clear direction and corrections. He responds very well to verbal commands, he knows what is expected, but he likes to push those boundaries sometimes, he is still young after all. Jax is totally house and crate trained. He walks well on a leash and knows several commands such as sit, down, shake, drop it and stay. If Jax sounds like he would be a good fit for your life, he would love to meet you!

My favorite thing in the whole world? WATER! If there's a pool, pond, creek, lake, sprinkler, or kiddie pool nearby, count me in. I'll be the first one splashing around and having the time of my life. When I'm not busy practicing my swimming skills, I'm making friends. I love people, enjoy meeting new dogs, and am always excited to be part of the fun. Whether we're going for a walk, exploring somewhere new, or hanging out in the backyard, I'm happiest when I'm with my favorite humans. I'm a social, friendly guy who greets life with a wagging tail and an adventurous spirit. I have the perfect combination of playful puppy energy and sweet companionship, making me an excellent sidekick for whatever adventures come our way. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who loves everyone he meets, never turns down a chance to play in the water, and is ready to make memories with you for years to come, I think we might be a perfect match. Come meet me! can't wait to make a splash in your life! Love, Kingston
