My story

    Meet Big, Beautiful Jax! This handsome 3 - 4 year old boy weighs about 70 lbs and has a beautiful saddleback coat. Jax came to NorSled from a crowded Central Valley shelter, just in time. He was scheduled to be euthanized simply due to lack of space. When he arrived, we discovered he had an old ankle injury. We don’t know how it happened, but it was long past the point of repair. As time went on, it became clear the injury was worsening and causing him pain. The kindest, most compassionate choice was amputation. Jax is now absolutely thriving as a tripod.  He’s the same lovable, easy-going, happy boy he’s always been, just now pain-free and living his best life.  He adores people. He loves other dogs. Truly, he hasn’t met a human or pup he doesn’t like! Jax is potty trained, crate trained, and enjoys short walks and soaking up the outdoors. He’s gentle, friendly, and one of the happiest souls you’ll ever meet. Tripod life hasn’t slowed him down one bit - it’s only given him a brighter, more comfortable future. If you’re looking for a big, beautiful best friend with a heart of gold, Jax is ready to meet you.             March 7, 2026, 1:35 pm

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Jax, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
