Jax Staffordshire Bull Terrier & Labrador Retriever Mix Minneapolis, MN

Meet Jax, an incredibly handsome Stafford Terrier/ Labrador/Australian shepherd mix coming in at 60 pounds of love and affection. At 7 years old, Jax is in the prime of his life and ready to embark on new adventures with his forever family! One hangout with Jax and you'll learn just how friendly and chill this guy is. He thrives on human companionship, always eager to greet new friends with a wag of his tail and a big smile.

Jax is also big on toys, especially stuffed toys or a ball to play with. He'll gladly play with a ball for hours if given the option. This boy absolutely loves the water and will happily accompany you outside for the hose. He's the kind of pup that is ready for water tag.

Although Jax loves people, he can initially be timid but will quickly warm up. Once he does it's all paws, kisses, and guaranteed cuddles. Jax is also a great watch dog and welcome pup, gladly alerting you to visitors or potential threats. No doorbell needed! Although he may bark here and there, his overall chill demeanor makes him adaptable to many urban and suburban environments.

As for his energy level, Jax is a pretty relaxed dog, with an easy exercise routine. He enjoys leisurely strolls around the neighborhood, he particularly prefers the quieter neighborhood kind of walk with little distractions away from his priority sniffs, and plenty of playtime in the backyard. He's not particularly demanding when it comes to being active if the day doesn't call for it. Jax is the ideal companion for families of any activity level, but he'd especially love a fenced in yard to play with his ball and people in.

When it comes to kids, due to his size and playful strength, Jax needs to be in a home with older children. As for other dogs, he has lived with other resident pups but can be overbearing. He tolerates his puppy foster siblings well but should be the only canine family member.

Whether he's lounging around the house or romping in the yard, Jax is always up for a good time. With his gentle nature and unwavering loyalty, he's sure to bring endless joy and love to his forever home. If you're ready, Jax is waiting with open paws to become your new best friend, the best of best friends.
