Meet Daxx!

Hi, I’m Dax! I’m a bundle of love and fun, with a spicy twist at the end. I’m the best friend you’re just realizing you need!

- I love my foster mom and follow her around.
- I love snuggling at my foster’s feet and getting foot rubs.
- I love my foster sibling - he is my bff and and is teaching me how to be an inside dog.
- I play a LOT with my foster sibling and mom.
- My favorite games are rough housing with my sib and playing fetch - I’m so fast I always get the ball.
- I can be very silly and make my foster mom laugh.
- I’m good in my crate and keep it clean
- I am so good at going potty outside!
- I get along with the family cat and leave him alone.
- I’m a good eater.

Here is the spicy part. I come from a sketch background and am super afraid of hands. I need someone with patience and love to help me understand hands are good. My foster mom can pick me up and hold me now. And I sit quietly while she gives me pets.

If I sound like your kind of guy and you have a little bit of extra love for the hands thing, adopt me!

You can still come adopt me or even join our foster program to help the humans learn all the awesome things about new dogs like me! Learn more on our website!

Hope to see you soon!
