Story
Please contact Paul Slebzak (pauls@luckydoganimalrescue.org) for more information about this pet.sweet small shy by seeking fresh start and love! JAX NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Jax Best Guess for Breed: Yorkie and poodle mix Best Guess for Age: 6 years as of August 2024 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 5 pounds and 4 ounces Gets Along With: Jax does well with other dogs. We have tested Jax with some of the cats at one of our adoption events, and he did not seem particularly interested in chasing or pouncing on the cat. While this is a positive sign that Jax could live with a cat, he/she has not done so to our knowledge. If you have cats in your home, we are happy to discuss with you how to best introduce a new pup to your pack! We would be cautious placing Jax in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise. Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash. We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant. Currently Living at: DC area foster home Special adoption considerations: Jax comes from a commercial breeding operation and has never lived in a home before. The breeding operation has been shut down, and this adorable pup now has the chance to learn what its like to be a real dog. He hasn't had enough experience with the world and is shy. When Jax arrived from the shelter, he was pretty reserved in the hustle and bustle of city life. He has been making great strides in foster care! We think Jax would do best in a home that either has a resident dog or who can make sure Jax has lots of opportunities to go on walks regularly with other dogs or visit dog parks and/or doggie daycare with other dogs to build confidence. We would be cautious placing him in a home with children under 12 years old because young kids can often scare shy dogs with their level of energy or noise. Children would need to be supervised closely to not leave doors open and should never walk the dog without an adult holding the leash. We would be happy to discuss this more in depth with any applicant. Jax is Looking For: His forever family! This sweet shy boy wants nothing more than to be safe and loved - and to have his own humans to love. He's looking forward to exploring his new home - his new neighborhood - the world! And doing it all on his own four paws, not toted about in a purse. To get there, he needs extra patient and loving adopters who understands he is very small - he sees the world at our ankle level -and the world is so big, and he needs to feel safe. A welcoming resident dog will show him how it's done too! And yeah, just look at that coat. He'll need daily brushing and regular professional grooming to prevent painful mats from forming. In exchange, he has so many adoring gazes stockpiled and all the love and loyal companionship in his little heart to offer his new humans. What do you say? Are you the soft landing this sweetie deserves? Is he the one for your lap and your life? What My Foster Says About Me: Jax has been enjoying life in a home! He likes his crate and loves sleeping on his soft bed. He likes soft food too (see a theme here? He probably didn't get a lot of soft stuff where he was before) as well as jerky. He goes potty outside. Jax has been learning to walk on leash and is getting better at it every day! As he continues to build strength and stamina, he will get to see and do so many things he missed out on in his early years. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training. TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and spay/neuter.
