I'm Pax, and if you adopt me, your life will be packed with adventure! I'm a social, enthusiastic boy who lives for playtime with my favorite person...you! I'm a firm believer in dog toys being the best thing ever, and I will gladly share my squeakies with you. I do know sit, and I will dramatically park my booty and wait for the finest treat you have to offer. I love car rides and will going to all the places. I'm learning how to walk on a leash like a proper gentleman (I get so excited to explore I just want to go, go, go). I've been friendly with people of all ages, and I've done well with the other dogs I've met in passing. Let's play!
