Jax A546740

I have been waiting to take Jax out since he came in, but the shelter was monitoring him for ringworm so volunteers couldn’t handle him. Good news! No ringworm! Jax was happy to get outside. He was easy to leash up and snorted and waddled his way through the kennels, not minding the dogs barking at him from their kennels.

Jax sounds like a piglet, which makes sense given his shorter snout and compact body. Jax takes treats gently and enjoyed pets. Even though he doesn’t have ringworm, he does have something going on with his skin, so he enjoyed the scratches I gave him and could use a vet visit to determine treatment (likely medicated baths and a good quality food).

Jax is a young guy who has been cooped up with no walks or outdoor time, so when I took him out, he was occasionally jumpy for attention. I am sure with more regular walks and some structure, that will go away. Also, I can’t see him having much stamina in this heat with his build, which should help with training him to be calm! Wink wink!

Jax is definitely a head turner and exudes happiness and friendliness. As we walked back to his kennel, he calmly passed and didn’t seem to mind the dogs barking and jumping in their kennels as we passed. He just seemed happy to get out! Go rescue Jax today!
