Description:
Clancy (Jax, as his foster calls him) is a WONDERFUL boy. He is perfect in every way. Here is what his foster mom as to say about him!
Jax is the most amazing first time foster dog! Right off the bat.....great car dog!!!!!!! Brought him home and he walked around and surveyed the house. He's a very, easy going "house dog" for such a big dog. The introduction to the Shelties was pretty uneventful. Tessa (the female) give him a little "arf" and snap and Jax respected it and walked away. Tazer just stood his ground until Jax walked away.
Jax is VERY housebroken. We are working on sitting before I put his leash on at the door. I am also working on the command "hurry up" when he needs to go so he understands it's time to do his business and move on. Both my Shelties were trained in that way for showing and it is very handy when you are in a hurry and don't have time for the dog to snif around for a long amount of time. This morning, I walked him right into the wooded area where I wanted him to go and he pooped right away. He got lots of praise and seemed to understand he did a really good thing!
He's very gentle in taking treats out of your hand and I do not sense one, ounce of agression in this sweet boy. Jax has a very, kind soul. He loves to lay his head in your lap and have his belly rubbed. He also loves hugs. He will actually nudge your hand wanting more affection.
I am also working on him sitting and waiting while I put his food down. Understanding not to just charge it. He's so easy. Truly.
He does need work on walking on the leash but I can see small improvement already. When he pulls I just stop, he stops and eventually will understand that tugging on me gets him nowhere. We will work more on healing on the left as time goes on. He's laying behind me right now happily chewing on a Nylabone. Truly, he's a great house dog for being so big.
When you adopt a pet from Midwest Animal Rescue and Services, your adoption fee covers: Microchip and registration, Core Vaccines including Rabies, Distemper and bordetella, age appropriate heartworm testing or FeLV-FIV testing, sterilization, heartworm/flea-tick prevention and deworming while in foster care. Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters. How to learn more about a pet: Complete the application (click on the button above) to start our process for adopting or fostering a MARS Pet. Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks. Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance. Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed. If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
