JAX - CHOCOLATE LABRADOR RETRIEVER / LABRADOR RETRIEVER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chocolate Labrador Retriever / Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Jax is a very BIG teddy bear. He has a very gentle, loving nature. He was adopted from the shelter 6 years ago and returned to the shelter because the family was moving and couldn't take him with them. He was confined to a small outside pen before he came here and did not get much exercise. He was about 20 lbs overweight when we got him and has lost 12lbs already! He is 8 years old and now weighs 105 lbs. Jax's age and size do not slow this guy down at all...he is go go go! He LOVES walks, adventure and being with people. He gets very excited about everything and acts like a puppy. He would be a wonderful adventure buddy for an active family or person. He is house trained, good with other dogs and kids too. Jax would make a great addition to any dog loving home! If you would like more information, please contact the shelter at 870-269-5200 or go to our website at schspets and complete an adoption application and someone will contact you for a meet and greet. UPDATE: Jax just entered the Paws in Prison Program for 4-8 weeks of obedience training. He will be house trained, leash trained, crate trained and will learn tricks too. Who says an Old Dog cant learn new tricks.
