Per staff on 4/17/24: Jax was patient in his kennel and let me slip my leash on in one go. He's a bit nervous walking through the kennels and is a bit lowered and looks around constantly. Once outside he gains so much confidence and solicits attention regularly. We did a drop leash meet with Parker, and they got along great! Jax is a mix of a rough and rowdy player and a push and pull, and loves tackling and is tolerant of mouthing as well. Parker loves to play chase but Jax does seem to have a bit of a prey drive and would begin growling and get increasingly fixated until he stopped. Per volunteer on 4/14/24: Jax is a young and excitable boy. He doesn't know how to play with balls and was getting too rowdy in the run so we did a long walk instead. For such an energetic dog his leash manners are very good. However he does zig zag a lot because he's very alert when in a new area. Jax was nervous in the cemetery and stayed close to me for comfort. Other people wanted to meet him but I noticed he was doing some slight guarding of me (standing in front with tense body and hard eye contact on passerby's) so I did not allow them to approach. We stopped a few times to give him some reassuring pets, which did help. He is SO soft. On the way back Jax saw his staff member friend and was beside himself with joy. So he is fine with people he knows. Eval 4/13: a little shy at first but sooo sweet and social! scared of sudden movements, 12+ or calm kids please!! good candidate for foster 4/12 per staff- Food motivated, likes cream cheese. Very friendly and sweet, likes being pet. A little shy, but warms up quick. Did well with minimal handling and restraint for vaccinations/intake (only needed cream cheese as a distraction). Jax is currently eligible for rescue, foster and adoption. Head to ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or email foster@acctphilly.org to express interest in fostering him!
