About Jax

Meet Jax Animal ID: 2000417591 Jax is a 5 years, 5 months old male Australian Cattle Dog who weighs 73 pounds. Introducing the handsome Jax! Jax is an incredibly clever herding dog with a strong desire to work, learn, and make his people proud. He's looking for a breed-experienced home - or adopters who are ready to learn all about the needs of intelligent working dogs like him! His ideal family is an active one who has the time to keep his brain and body busy. This goofy guy is famous in shelter for his chronic wiggle butt syndrome. When he's happy, his whole back end wags, and if that wasn't cute enough, he has the most adorable "tappy toes" when he's excited! After a fun day of adventuring and chasing balls, Jax likes to wind down by leaning into you for scratches or napping at your feet. He's an affectionate dog who likes to stay right by his people, often nudging, bumping, or rolling into them to ask for pets and attention. Jax can be nervous around new people and may need some time and patience to feel comfortable. He'll do best with a family who can read canine body language, respect his boundaries, and help him continue building confidence at his own pace. He is currently working on muzzle training, befriending new people and burning his energy in appropriate ways. Jax is not suited to a home with small kids, so any children should be at least 16 or older and capable of understanding his needs. He has lived with cats before, though, and could do well with feline friends after very slow introductions! He's interacted with other dogs before as well, so if you have a pup of your own, we'd be happy to introduce them here. If Jax sounds like your next best friend, what's stopping you from meeting him today? Jax is: - kids 16+ only - open to cats, slow intros required - open to dogs pending successful intro - looking for a breed-experienced home Book Appointment  Walk-in Join our Mailing List today!
