y and has adjusted well to living indoors with two adults, two other dogs and one cat. Jax quickly became accustomed to the routine of eating two times per day with occasional treats, using the outdoors for potty time, obeying simple commands, playing with other family members and toys, car rides, walks and dog park visits. Jax isn’t a huge fan of the kennel, but he will go in with a treat and does fine for a few hours. However, since the other dogs do not require a kennel, Jax’s foster parents decided to try leaving him free to hang with the other dogs and he did great! Of course anything that might have been tempting to chew on was safely stowed away and there were plenty of dog toys to keep him busy. It has been cold and icy, so leash walks have been infrequent; however he adjusted well to the pack when he is on a leash. We like to use gentle leads for walks. Jax does not mind the car and he even does well in a kennel in the car. Jax will try to leave the car if any door opens so beware, he must be leashed and careful he doesn’t slip out the door in a busy street or parking lot. Jax will alert you when the garbage man or mail person comes. He is used to a completely fenced in yard. He can play outside for extended periods of time with the other dogs. Jax is eager to please and he likes to be in the same room with his humans. On the occasional times he slipped out the fence gate (while taking out the garbage) he stayed close and came when called. Jax was quick to figure out how to open storm doors by jumping and pressing on the handle. One thing that Jax needs help with is his strong desire to hug when he greets you, in other words he still likes to jump up like most puppies. At first it was really cute, but we suspect others may not want this behavior so we are working on how to greet each other without jumping up to hug. Although if you want to teach Jax how to Salsa, he will make a great dance partner. Jax plays really well with his foster brother and sister. He is curious about the cat when she enters the room and starts talking, but he knows to leave her alone. Overall, Jax is an amazing dog and we would keep him, but we want to continue fostering and helping other dogs find furever homes so reluctantly we are sharing how wonderful he is with high hopes he will find an amazing family to grow old with. Jack's adoption fee includes: Rabies vaccination, DHPP vaccination to age, bordetella vaccination, de-wormer, 4DX heartworm/tick disease test, neuter, pre-paid micro-chip, and a full veterinary exam. Adoption fee:$425.00
