Jax a 6 yo Bichon Frise/Poodle mix. He is very lovable and will lay up under you all day if you let him. He loves belly rubs and nose kisses. He is also anxious and doesn't always like to be alone. If you leave him alone, he needs snacks and a brain task to keep him occupied and he will be okay. Jax is talkative and likes to bark at dogs from the window and start a conversation, but if you let him know to "leave it" he will stop. Jax is a COVID pup, so he was socialized but with restrictions. However, he does so well in daycare! He is a really chill dog inside the home. Nonetheless, Jax is trainable and does have difficulties getting comfortable with others right away, but after 10-15 minutes, you become best friends and he loves hard! The kind of hard where he cries when his new best friends leave. Also, Jax did have urine crystals in 2025 and is now on a strict diet of urinary tract/digestive track food and snacks. He loves the food and snacks, so no worries with food aversions, he will eat!! Upon request, I can provide the type of food and snacks he has been prescribed. Jax would love a home where he is loved, taken outside to exercise, and has ample play time. Oh, and bonus, Jax is able to travel on the plane. Jax is always ready to play and he just needs a home able to continue to give him attention and love! I wish I could keep him myself, but because of my schedule, he would thrive more in a home where he has stable caretakers! :)
