Jax is a spirited, high-energy puppy who’s equal parts snuggle bug and playtime enthusiast! Whether he’s chasing toys or curling up for cuddles, Jax is all about living life to the fullest.
This vocal boy loves to express himself, which means he’s best suited for a home without shared walls (no apartments or condos) to keep your neighbours happy. Jax is expected to grow into a very large dog with all the strength and characteristics of a power breed, so adopters with power breed experience & a solid understanding of their needs and the importance of socializing will be a requirement for him.
Like any puppy, Jax is still learning and will need a family committed to helping him grow into his best self. To ensure his success, adopters must sign him up for three in-person training sessions with a certified positive reinforcement trainer prior to adoption.
If you’re ready for a big, loveable bundle of energy who will fill your home with joy and laughter, Jax might just be your perfect match!

Come into the Centre and if you see a pet you like, you are able to do a "Meet and Greet" with that pet. Spend some time in alone with the pet or take a dog out for a short walk. If you are still interested in adopting the pet you can meet with one of our Adoption Counsellors who will have you fill out and application and will ask you some questions about the environment in which you live. If you seem like a wonderful match and your envirnoment meets the needs of the pet then your application should be approved!
