Pointer - Jax - Medium - Adult - Male - Dog
Hi everyone! My name is Jax I am very sweet, very good, very shy, 2-3 year old, 45 pound, neutered male Pointer mix. I don't have a mean or aggressive bone in my body, I am quite gentle, and at this point in time, pretty scared of lots of stuff like people, dogs, cats, and the outside world. I like very much to curl up in the back of my wonderful crate, gnaw on a toy or cuddle up in my blanket. My foster parents are letting me hang out there as much as I choose, as it seems to be the only place at present where I feel truly safe. I've been in my new foster home since Superbowl Sunday, and I am starting to make baby steps of progress. I come out of my crate on my own for a minute or two once in a while, have found my voice (I barked a few times along with the other dogs in the home!), went "hunting" for voles in the fenced yard for the first time the other day with the other dogs, and actually ventured upstairs (with the other dogs) to sniff around finally! One of the dogs in my foster home is trying hard to make me feel comfortable and to draw me out, and it's finally starting to work. My tail has started to wag from time to time, and I am gaining a bit of trust in the wonderful, kind, patient people in my home. I've got a long way to go to be a happy and confident dog, but I am actually feeling a tiny bit hopeful and excited for the journey! We don't know what happened to me in the past to make me so scared of everything, but we do know that with caring, patient people around me who reward me for every brave new step I take and who let me take things at my own pace, I will be able to build back my trust and confidence. I am so lucky to have landed in CDR's foster program!! If you think you might like to adopt me, please fill out an online adoption application at /adopt.php and live close to Ithaca , Syracuse, Binghamton, or Elmira. We do home visits on every applicant, and can't do home visits where we don't have local volunteers.
