My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

**THIS IS A COURTESY POST. THIS DOG IS ~~NOT~~ IN THE CARE OF THE ALTERNATIVE HUMANE SOCIETY. PLEASE CONTACT THE OWNER DIRECTLY AT sunhoofbwr@gmail.com THANK YOU**

Jaxom (Jax), one year old German Shepherd, unaltered male who has all his shots and is a sweet boy.

Jax does well with other dogs. I have not had any issues taking him to an off leash dog park. However, he has had very little experience with cats (my cats hated him so we kept them isolated from him)

Jax likes kids but gets over excited easily so he will probably be much for younger children. Stopping his over excited jumping is a work in progress and he has been through both basic and intermediate puppy classes. When he is paying attention he walks very well at heal and knows heal, reset to heal, sit, down, hand touch, wait, and come.

He is house broken and will hold it as long as he can (I had a day that I could not get home quickly and he was alone for 12 hours without making a mess).

Jax does have some anxiety and wants to be in the middle of everything. He loves to play fetch but want to play tug of war with the ball when he brings it back.

Jax is a sweet boy and wants to please.
