Are you right for Jax?

Jax is a sweet 8-month-old Akita x Collie. He is an active boy who has bundles of energy and is a lot of fun to be around. Jax would like to be the only pet in the home and can live with children aged 14 and above. Jax loves to snuggle up with his family on the sofa and enjoy lots of cuddles. He is looking for a home where there would be someone at home for most of the day and able to build up his confidence being left. He loves playing in the garden, having access to somewhere enclosed would be beneficial for him to help burn off some of his energy and continue his training.

Is Jax right for you?

Jax is an adorable boy who is very friendly with everyone he meets, greeting you with lots of enthusiasm. Jax loves learning! Having a family who would like to continue training with him would be key. Jax can be uncomfortable around other dogs and is looking for a home that will continue his training with this. Jax will need his owners to be able to walk him in quieter places where he can continue to do training to focus on his owners. AWE licence number 176240 by West Lothian Council.
