About Jax

Poodle / Maltese
Age: Young Adult

**PLEASE READ JAX'S BIO THOROUGHLY. ALL REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET IN ORDER TO BE CONSIDERED.** Oh Jax, we are so sorry you had such a horrible life, but we promise that from this point on, you will be loved and adored like you deserve to be! Jax is our 5 year old male Maltipoo boy who is about 18lbs of pure cuddles! Unfortunately Jax didn't have the best life before he came to us. He was not treated nicely by his former owner's boyfriend, and was manhandled quite harshly and quite roughly, and because of this, he needs a very specific home. Jax is a dog that requires an adult only home where the environment is calm and non chaotic. Due to the way he was treated before, he can be reactive to sudden moves coming towards his head or neck. His wonderful foster mom has been working with him and getting him comfortable with touch, and we see he is really doing well meeting new people. Of course, his new owners must remember to be patient and work with him daily so he gains that trust and learns to love unconditionally. Jax is a dog that definitely needs a home with a yard where he can run around in and play fetch which he loves to do! We also feel it would be best for him to be the one and only dog in the home where he will get the love and attention he really deserves. We still want him socialized with other dogs, but he really needs to be the only pup in the home. Don't let his insecurities fool you into thinking he is sedentary, no way! This boy has energy and he is strong, so he needs an owner that can handle all of that by taking him on brisk walks daily, exercising him, and playing with him in the backyard. With Maltipoo dogs you need to be ok with monthly grooming that can cost $50-$60. He is a dog that doesn't do well with the groomer and may require sedative to calm his nerves. We love Jax and know that he has so much potential, but also know that he needs a very experienced dog owner (no first time dog owners) who will teach him to feel trust and love once again! WE ONLY ADOPT IN LOS ANGELES AND SURROUNDING AREAS AS A HOME CHECK AND TRIAL PERIOD ARE REQUIRED. If you meet all of the above requirements, you may fill out an application which will then be reviewed. Those that could be possibilities will be called to meet Jax.
