Jax may be a little shy when you first meet him, but it doesn’t take long for his true personality to shine. Once he opens up, he blossoms into one of the sweetest, calmest dogs you’ll ever meet.

He’s an easygoing, affectionate companion who just wants to be near his people. Whether you’re going for a quiet walk or curling up on the couch, Jax is the kind of dog who’s simply happy to be by your side.

He’s a true sweetheart who would thrive in a calm, loving home — either as a foster or forever friend. If you're looking for a loyal, low-maintenance companion with a heart of gold, Jax is your guy.

Come by and meet him today if you're ready to fall hard in love! 💖

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
