Chinese Crested Dog and Yorkshire Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Foster, Rhode Island

Jax is an adorable Chinese Crested/Yorkie mix looking for a loving home. He weighs 8 pounds and is around 12 years old.

Jax is great with cats, kids, and dogs of all sizes. He's a very sweet, social little dog. He loves being with people and will happily snuggle up in bed with you or fall asleep next to you on the couch.

Jax loves being in the sun, but because he is mostly hairless, he needs sunscreen and skin protection outdoors, along with lotion to keep his skin moisturized. He can also be a bit of an escape artist and is surprisingly good at climbing, so he should be supervised outside, even with a fence.

He isn't overly vocal, but will sing backup if the other dogs start barking. He does try to use pee pads, but he can be prone to marking. He tolerates wearing belly bands well.

Medically, Jax's right eye has an immature cataract, and his left eye has a mature cataract. His left eye should be monitored at future vet visits. He may be vision-impaired but he gets around fine! Jax also recently had a bladder stone removed. He's missing quite a few teeth after his dental, so his tongue sticks out sometimes, but he's a great eater!

Jax is neutered, up to date on vaccines, has recently had a dental, and has recently had full blood work done.
