A volunteer writes: He doesn’t smile much, but when he kisses you you’ll feel like you’ve won the lottery!!! Found with his friend AJ (A1057017) and surrendered as the finder’s children developed allergies, we’re told that Dax is house trained, lived with 3 kids ages 2,9, and 11 and was playful, relaxed and tolerant with them, liked to play chase with the kids, and is well behaved when left home alone. Dax is a bit shy at first and when he warmed up came into my lap and gave me kisses. I love his Groucho Marx eyebrow, his square little nose, freckled ear and expressive eyes. He showed off his housetraining skills, how nicely he walks on leash, and sits for his treat which he takes super gently. He’s low key and gentle, curious and alert. We ran into his buddy AJ in the backyard and both dogs greeted one another happily. Dax is such a delight and I know that once he becomes more comfortable in this new environment will open up
a bit more. He’s young but reserved and is going to make some family very lucky. Shouldn’t it be you?

INTAKE
AJ and Dax approached us with loose, wiggly bodies and low wagging tails. They maintained this while we pet, scanned (-), collared, and positioned them for pictures.
