Looking for a fun and lovable new best friend? Jaxx is a sweet, friendly, and energetic pup with a big heart and an eagerness to please. Hes full of youthful enthusiasm and thrives on adventure, whether its a stroll through the neighborhood, a romp in the park, or playtime with other dogs. Jaxx loves attention and would do great in a home with playful companions, like other dogs or dog-savvy kids, who can match his energy and zest for life.
Jaxx is still learning how to be a dog after growing up in a shelter but is adjusting quickly. Hes eager to learn and highly food-motivated - he already knows how to sit and is excited to master new tricks with a little guidance. He walks well on a leash, though he can be jumpy with excitement when first heading out.
In playgroups, Jaxx is social and playful, happily sharing toys and playing chase with other dogs. He has not been dominant and does well with similarly energetic pups. Hes been around cats briefly in the shelter, showing curiosity but no signs of aggression. Jaxx is also gentle with people and loves to give his full attention, though his excitement may lead to some happy jumps at first.
Jaxx does fine with sturdy toys and chews but enjoys tearing up stuffed or rope toys. Hell thrive in a home that can give him the structure, love, and activity he craves. If youre looking for an affectionate, adventurous companion whos ready to learn and grow, Jaxx might be your perfect match!
