Jax - Labrador Retriever and Hound Dog for Adoption in Cleburne, Texas

HEY HEY HEY! ?? Im Jax, a 212-year-old Labrador, weighing in at a mighty 55 pounds of wiggle power. Basically, Im a pogo stick disguised as a dog — Ill jump to get your attention like Im auditioning for the circus. ????

Im also a gentleman in my kennel — Im really good at keeping it clean (no bathroom breaks where I sleep, thank you very much). And guess what? Im learning how to use commands for treats, which means Im basically becoming a snack-powered genius. Sit? Paw? Boom. Treat dispenser unlocked. ????

Now, heres the scoop: Im a little dog-selective. Think of me as the bouncer at the coolest club in town — not every pup gets past the velvet rope. ?? But my true love is PEOPLE! Ill stick to you like Velcro, flop into your lap like I forgot Im not pocket-sized, and make you laugh so hard youll wonder if I moonlight as a stand-up comedian.

One more important thing about me: I am heartworm positive, but please dont let that stop you from falling in love with me! The shelter is willing to pay for my heartworm treatment. I just need a family willing to give me the love, care, and comfy place to land while I work toward getting healthy. ????

Im goofy, loyal, and dramatic in the best way. Basically, Im a Lab who thinks hes the star of a sitcom — complete with laugh tracks, dramatic zoomies, and heartfelt cuddle scenes. And guess what? Youre my favorite co-star. ??

If you want a dog who brings chaos, comedy, cuddles, kisses, and circus-level jumps all in one adorable 55-pound package, Im your guy.

Warning: Side effects of adopting Jax may include sore cheeks from smiling too much and a permanent case of happy heart. ????
