181275 Jax

My story

JAX - 9 years old, 40 pounds, house trained, well mannered in the home, good with older kids, good with dogs, has not lived with a cat.   Jax was with his surrendering family his whole life. They now find themselves having to move and unable to take Jax with them.    Jax is house trained. He’s playful and loves all kinds of toys. He might pull at first on a leash but then settles into the walk and does great. Jax can live with another dog, but his previous owners said it's best to feed him separate.  Jax is loyal. He’s the dog that will follow you around, stay at your side. Jax is smart.   Jax is, however, nervous in the shelter. We have been allowing him to open up at his own pace, at his own speed.   You’ll have to do the same. Give him time. Allow him space.   Entering a new home as an older dog might require more time for the dog to get used to everything changing around him. Please be ready to give him some grace on settling in a new home and new routine.    At the shelter we have found Jax to be a little touch sensitive. He doesn’t know us well yet. We’re all new to him. It can be very scary to a dog. You can do your part by not handling him much until he gets used to you. Allow proper introductions to new people as well.    Jax is said to have some Rottweiler in him. Rotties have certain breed characteristics which may or may not align with your family lifestyle. Read up on the breed. Decide for yourself.   Jax is currently in a back kennel so if you come in to meet him and don’t see him, please just ask.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 6, 2025, 9:16 am
