Senior Blue Heeler with lots of love and life to live
Jax is a remarkable blue heeler with a wealth of love to offer to the right home. Known for his intelligence, he excels in learning commands and thrives on companionship. Jax enjoys being close to his person, often showing his affection by sticking by your side and relishing long walks together. Unfortunaltly, due to past experiences with being attacked by off-leash dogs, Jax can be reactive but responds well to a firm, steady hand. With patience and affection, he is a loyal and devoted companion. As he ages, Jax requires more dedicated attention, which I unfortunately cannot provide while attending school for the next few years. Since our move to Ohio less than a year ago, it has become clear that Jax (and perhaps his sweet adopted sister, Gracie) needs a loving human or family who can devote the time and care he truly deserves.
