Jex is a sensitive guy who needs a patient adopter to help him feel safe. While he may seem uncertain at first, Jex’s curious and gentle nature is evident with time and patience.
Jex would thrive as the only pet in an understanding home where he can build trust at his own pace. If you’re looking for a rewarding connection with a pup who truly needs a second chance, Jex is ready to meet you.
Eligible for rescue, foster, and adoption. Meet Jex at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Jex was laying on his bed with scared wide eyes. He did not move from that spot so I threw the leash in for him to sniff. He sniffed it curiously and then came forward. He was easy to leash and came right out.
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls minimally/moderately.
HANDLING :
In the room, Jex was very avoidant with a tucked tail and began exit searching. He tried to climb the table, the door and pawed at the window. He avoided eye contact with both handlers and wouldn't acknowledge us. In spurt I was able to do some handling and he remained tolerant but was unsure. He gave some side eye and would freeze at times but got a little more comfortable with time, allowing more handling but on a lower level. He was nervous with me being over him and would freeze and then back up. With time and patience he allowed all handling and would become more tolerant.
PLAY:
No interest
TOYS
Minimal interest but no possession
