Jax

ABSOLUTE charmer.

ABSOLUTE lover.

ABSOLUTE commitment.

Hello there. I’m Jax – a 45-lb cattle dog/German short haired pointer mix who happens to be a black-and-white kind-of-a guy (both physically and emotionally).  Speaking of black-and-white, I remind my foster mom of that comic strip character Dennis the Menance as I’m quite the sweetie-pie but can get myself into trouble when no one is looking (can’t all young pups!?!)  I’ve bounced around quite a bit in my 2-year-life and I’m looking for a human(s) who will ABSOLUTEly commit to providing me the safe, quiet life for which I yearn.

While I can be a bit fearful of new people, I am an amazingly sweet, attentive, loyal pup once I know you are a trusted human. In fact, my favorite passstime isn’t all that dog-park craziness – it’s simply relaxing with my human companion(s).  Given that I find adult humans a bit intimidating, I definitely shouldn’t live with any of those unpredictable human ankle-biters that you humans refer to as ‘children’. 

When I’m not ‘actively chillin’ with my people, I enjoy tossing around & pouncing on my doggie toys, challenging myself with a yummy Kong-toy and munching on a ice cubes. I know how to use the doggie door, know some basic obedience commands and will go willingly into the crate (as long as I’m rewarded with a scrumptious treat!)  Speaking of ‘rewards’, I need a human(s) who will ABSOLUTEly commit to continuing the positive reinforcement training that I’m currently receiving in my awesome foster home.  The Paws & Co. folks can help introduce you to some positive reinforcement techniques (I’m very food motivated!) if you’re not familiar with the term.

My fear issues extend to other dogs so I probably shouldn’t cohabitate with any other dogs at this time.   I also have some skin allergies and need to be on a special diet – it’s really no big deal but my potential human just needs to be aware (there are no secrets here!)

I just know that I will make some really lucky human SO happy.  Might you be the ABSOLUTEly perfect match for me?  I might sound like a lot of work, but I’m ABSOLUTEly worth the investment!  Please email Paws & Co.
