Meet Jax!   Jax is a handsome Belgian Malinois with a big personality and an even bigger engine! This energetic guy had a rough start to life (and almost didn't make it), but you’d never guess it from his confident strut and bright, curious eyes. Still triggered by some noises and fast movements, Jax has been working hard to overcome his anxieties. Jax is full of life, always ready for action, and looking for someone who can keep up with his adventurous spirit.   Like many Malinois, Jax is smart, driven, and loves having a job to do. Whether it’s learning new tricks, going for long hikes, playing with toys, or working his brain with training games, Jax is happiest when he’s busy. He’s the kind of dog who wakes up each day asking, “What’s our mission today?”   Because of his high energy and working-dog mindset, Jax will do best with an experienced owner who understands the needs of working breeds. He’s not looking for a couch-potato lifestyle (although he LOVES to cuddle at the end of the day)—he wants a teammate! Someone who enjoys training, staying active, and building a strong bond with their dog will find Jax to be an incredibly rewarding companion.   Jax’s Dream Home:   An experienced owner familiar with working breeds   An active household that enjoys exercise and adventure   Someone excited about training, enrichment, and structure   Adult only home preferred or older children   With the right person, Jax could thrive in activities like advanced training, agility, scent work, or other canine sports. But most of all, he’s looking for a human who appreciates his drive, intelligence, and loyalty.   If you’re ready for a smart, energetic partner who will keep life interesting and always be up for the next adventure, Jax is ready to be your co-pilot.    Jax is currently 1 1/2 years old and weighs 50-60 pounds. He is also housebroken, crate trained, and fine with fellow canines. He is even good with CATS! To set up a meeting, fill out an application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for JAX NJ!
