Jax Mixed Breed Elburn, IL

Meet Jax

Hi I’m Jax! I am approximately 3 months old, male, and about 13 pounds. I am one of the smaller puppies in my litter.

I came to Illinois from Texas with my siblings. I have been staying at a foster home that has a few other adult dogs and a lot of puppies! I get along with everyone. I have also met kids and do well with them. I unfortunately have not met cats so I’m unsure what I would think!

I have beautiful brindle fur with white paws! My foster mom says I’m a big sweetheart. I love when she pets me or holds me. I truly love affection! I also love to play with the other puppies and dogs at my foster home. We love to run around the yard and chase each other! I am very respectful of the other dogs though when we play.

My foster mom also said I’m very smart and may even be the smartest in my litter!

I haven’t learned to walk on a leash yet since I just recently received enough shots to go outside! I will need someone who will be patient enough to train me with the leash, potty train me, and overall just teach me how to act. I am just a puppy after all!

I currently sleep quietly in a crate at night with my brother Joel. I might need to adjust to being alone in a crate but I’m sure with time I will do great!

If you’re looking for a sweet, smart puppy, I might be the fit for you!

Our standard adoption fee is $375 if paid by cash or check, or $385 if paid by credit card (which includes a $10 processing fee). This fee covers spay/neuter surgery when age appropriate at one of our participating veterinarians, age-appropriate core vaccinations, fecal testing, deworming, flea and tick preventative, and microchipping.

In order to be considered for adoption, we require a fully completed application, a phone interview, and a meet-and-greet with your entire family. Please note that submitting an application does not commit you to adopting and does not guarantee approval—it simply allows us to begin the review process.

If you are interested in adopting or would like additional information, please email us at adopt@safehavendogsIL.org to request an application.

Keep in mind that the breed and size listed in each dog's biography are our best educated guesses and are not guaranteed.

Safe Haven Dog Rescue reserves the right to refuse the adoption of any dog or puppy to any applicant for any reason.
