Jax's Story

Hi there! My name is Jax, I'm a darling Senior boy at approx 9 years old, and a perfect size at 19 pounds! I'm super chill, I love going for gentle walks, and I will snuggle with you as much as you want! I've lived with cats and dogs and older kids and I am cool with all of them. My foster mama is working with me on house training, so a consistent schedule would be wonderful for me to continue to learn the art of the outdoor potty world. Underdogs has lots of helpful training resources for you too if you need them! My Cali foster, (where I was first rescued from a very overcrowded shelter where a Senior like me never would have stood a chance) told me I was one of her favorite dogs but not to tell her other doggies and kitties. I told her thank you and that I'm good at keeping secrets.<br/><br/>As I am an Elder Underdog, I do have some things that come with age, like some cataracts starting to form, and my teeth have a light tarter on them and they just need to be checked to see if and when it might be time for a dental. I have some stiff joints and I've been taking some gabapentin for that and it helps me a lot! Some joint supplements might be nice too. I also have stage 2 kidney disease and that can be kept in check with special food. I just have those old dog stuff going on. That said, I'm chill, I'm adorable and I love to love my people. I'm really good at it! Are you ready to bring me home? You won't regret it!<br/><br/>Underdogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Adoption fee is $280. We also have a special program called The Elders of Underdogs where we match senior humans with senior dogs for a low adoption rate of $75!<br/><br/>Jax is being fostered in Portland, OR. Jax will come with a few months supply of food and his current joint medication.<br/><br/>You MUST have an Underdogs Rock Rescue application on file to request a meet with an Underdog. An online Underdogs Rock adoption application can only be accessed at https://underdogsrock.org/adopt-a-dog .<br/><br/>You must be available to meet an Underdog in their foster's location and dogs are not held for applicants or shipped outside of the Portland metro area. Home checks are also part of the process and will be conducted virtually or in person.<br/><br/>For updates on all the Underdogs be sure to follow the Underdogs Rock Rescue Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/UnderdogsRockRescue 12/17/25 8:24 AM
