Dax's Story

Meet Dax!<br/><br/>Breed: Teacup Shepherd/Pittie Mix<br/>Age: ~1 year<br/>Weight: ~30 lbs<br/><br/>Looking for a sweet, snuggly sidekick? Meet Dax, a lovable Pittie mix who’s ready to steal your heart, and maybe your lap, too!<br/><br/>Dax is a gentle, medium-energy boy who adores his people and loves nothing more than curling up for cuddles and giving soft kisses. He’s a bit shy at first, but once he warms up, you’ll see his goofy, affectionate personality shine through.<br/><br/>He’s currently living with several other dogs (nine, to be exact!) and gets along great with them. While he’s shown a little food-guarding around human meals, he responds well to correction and has done beautifully with structured feeding routines.<br/><br/>House & Crate Training:<br/>Dax is doing fantastic with his potty training — he knows to go outside and is great about holding it. He’s okay in his crate, though he’ll sometimes "chat" if he knows you’re home (he just doesn’t want to miss out on the fun!).<br/><br/>Other Notes:<br/>Great with other dogs<br/>Cats & kids: unknown<br/>Walks nicely on leash, no reactivity observed<br/>No aggression or separation anxiety noted<br/>Loves toys, especially noisy ones (the crinklier, the better!)<br/><br/>May indulge in a bit of backyard digging if left alone (he might have a little mole in him).<br/><br/>Dax would thrive in a loving home where he can continue to build confidence and get plenty of affection. He’d enjoy having a friendly dog buddy to play with, but he’d also do well as the only pup if he gets lots of human attention.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a loyal, tenderhearted companion with a silly side, Dax is your guy! <br/><br/><br/>Dax is currently in a loving foster home in the Houston, Texas area. He is able to travel out of state!<br/><br/>Adoption application: https://www.this-is-houston.org/adopt/adopt-application

ThisIsHouston's Adoption Policy
1. Submit Application 2. Home Check 3. Meet the Pet 4. Sign Adoption Contract 5. Pay Adoption Fee 6. 2 Week Trial 7. Finalize Adoption -- To adopt a pet within our group, please fill out an adoption application. Once/if your application is approved, we will make arrangements to set-up a home visit/virtual tour. The home visit/virtual tour will allow us to see the area the pet(s) will be living in, as we will need to make sure it is a safe and clean environment. After the home visit, if the applicant has any current pets, we will conduct a meet and greet to ensure all pets are introduced properly. If all goes well, the pet(s) will go on a “2 week trial” with the applicant. At that time, the adoption agreement and the adoption fee is due upon taking possession of the dog(s). If the dog still has remaining vetting to do under TIH, we will also require a foster form be submitted as well. If the pet is not a good fit for the household, he/she must be returned to us with a full refund if within the 2 week trial. If the 2 week trial DOES go well, and both parties choose to finalize, we will register the microchip in the adopter’s name and we will send over a health record for the pet(s) as well as important information regarding the microchip registration. Please keep in mind, once the adoption is finalized, and if it doesn’t work out with the pet(s) for whatever reason, the pet(s) must return back to us, as it states in our adoption contract.
