Jax is looking for a furever happy home. please share.
Jax went on an adoption trial and came back with notes.
According to his adopter, he was a happy guy, loved the resident dogs, and expressed himself with an enthusiasm that may have exceeded their comfort level.
He also really likes food and assumed the other dogs would not object if he sampled a little from their dinner plates. After all, sharing IS caring.
The resident dogs disagreed.
The good news? She described him as a fantastic dog with people.
At 115 pounds, Jax is a handsome, oversized gentleman who has never met a snack he didn't yearn for. He could benefit from a weight-loss journey, although in Florida's summer heat, we recommend skipping the "run a marathon" phase of the plan. Green beans, sensible portions, and moderate exercise are probably more his speed.
We’re seeking a human for Jax; one with a love for the chonky boys but a willingness to help him kickstart his wellness goals. If you’d like to meet him, visit us any time during business hours.
Our NEW shelter is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10am-5pm. We’re located at 6405 Hwy 40 in Ocala, which very close to the intersection of Hwy 40 & Airport Road. marionfl.org/animal
