Jaxon Labrador Retriever Mix University Place, WA

If you are interested in adopting, please apply directly with bigdogrescueproject.org/adopt.

Available for adoption in WA and OR. Fostered in the Tacoma area and available for meet and greets to pre-reviewed applications!

Jaxon is a 1 1/2 year old 75 pound lab mix with lots of love to offer! Jaxon absolutely adores being with his person and is incredibly loyal and eager to please, he has high food and toy drive making training fun and he easily picks up on new commands. Currently he knows sit, down, come, off, and stay.

Jaxon is a big strong boy who loves people and other dogs but does require an owner who will be the leader and enforce proper boundaries for him, once he knows what the rules are he’s very good about following them but if he feels he can push you around he will definitely try just for fun. Jaxon is extremely athletic and has tons of energy, he would make an excellent running and hiking buddy and would excel at almost any dog sport or advanced training as he’s always eager to learn and try new things.

Currently Jaxon is working on his leash manners and some reactivity to bikes and cars while on leash so his owners would need to be willing to continue his training to help him be the best he can be.

Jaxon is fully house trained, crate trained, can be trusted loose in the house for short periods of time (I haven’t tried for longer than 30-45 minutes yet, but he was fine in his previous home), and loves playing with other dogs. He is a full contact cuddle buddy and will eagerly join you on the couch for tv time and soak up the belly rubs while he chews a bone. He’s a really good boy to have in the house and as long as he’s given enough physical and mental outlets he relaxes well and is super sweet and loving.

Our adoption fee includes age appropriate vaccinations, deworming, microchipping and transport expenses. Adoption fee is $450 to help offset travel and medical expenses.

All children at home should be at least age 5 to be approved for adoption!
