Whether it’s walks, hanging out with his people, or joining in on everyday adventures, Jax is ready.<br/><br/>He has come a long way and is doing wonderfully in foster care. Jax is social, loving, and enjoys being part of the action while still appreciating routine and companionship.<br/><br/>Jax would love:<br/><br/>🐾 A home where he can bond closely with his people<br/>🐾 Mild adventures and daily companionship<br/>🐾 An adopter who appreciates smart, loyal dogs<br/>🐾 Plenty of love, attention, and inclusion in family life<br/><br/>Jax is:<br/><br/>✔️ Affectionate and people-focused<br/>✔️ Smart and eager to connect<br/>✔️ Good with dogs<br/>✔️ Good with cats<br/>✔️ Good with horses<br/>✔️ Good with older, respectful kids<br/>✔️ A loyal and loving companion<br/>✔️ Ready for his forever family<br/><br/>Like many herding breeds, Jax can still slip into “herding mode” around younger children, so a home with older kids or adults who understand his playful instincts would be the best fit.<br/><br/>Jax has already overcome so much and now deserves the part that matters most — a family to call his own.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a dog who will love deeply, stay close, and become your true sidekick, Jax may be your guy.<br/><br/>Ready to meet Jax?<br/>Apply here:<br/>blueysh4h.org/heeler-adoption-application-form/
