Finally! Mutt Monday is here!

Today we meet the sweetest, smartest, goodest boy - JAX!

As a retriever mix, we’d like to take the time to highlight the phenomenal service dog traits that come with this breed!

🦴 bred historically for patience and focus
🦴 their temperament combines intelligence with friendliness and a strong desire to please
🦴 naturally gentle mouth and sturdy build gives them the ability to stabilize an unsteady person while retrieving everyday items carefully

Jax is about 2 years old and neutered, he has great car temperament, praise and toy motivated (much more than food)

He is 100% person focused! This boy is ready to learn anything you want to teach him!

As always -

Elko Veteran Corps allows veterans to adopt free

Bark in Style, LLC thank you for getting him all spiffed up for today - always a discount for vets and rescues!

Can’t meet him today? See him and so many more sweet angels at Endless Pawsibilities Foundation
