About Jax

Adoption Fee: $250
Miniature Pinscher / Australian Cattle Dog
Age: Senior
Sex: Male

His name is Jax, he is twelve yrs old. He has a grade 4/5 heart murmur, with severe mitral valve disease. He has a loose mass on his side which has not gotten bigger over the last few months. He is on a daily medication regimen that helps manage his symptoms. He is no distress. An echo was done. Sadly his heart cannot be fixed and he cannot be given anesthesia for any procedures. Jax is such a good dog. Don't let his age fool you. Don't let his heart condition stop you. This boy lives each day eith the energy and enthusiasm of a youngster. If there's a squirrel or bird in the yard he will run like the wind to chase it. Going for a car ride or walk? He's jumping around ready to go. Need a guard while you shower, sleep or relax on the couch? Well he's your guy. He has a prance in his walk. Head held high so he misses nothing. And he's really smart. He learned to use the dog door in a day. Only needed to be shown once where his bed is. Sensitive to correction, he tries not to make the same mistakes. He's a little guy only 20 lbs. His little head is always in the window when I pull into the driveway. The first one to greet me at the door, so happy to see me. Not interested in toys or bones. Not a fan of thunder, he finds a safe place til its over. Doesn't like other dogs in his personal space and will move away if he can. He likes a bit of chicken and can food with his kibble. If you can open your heart and home to this lil man, I know you will not be disappointed. There is something about him and he will reach in and touch you deeply in those special places of your head and heart. Currently fostered in Bradenton.
