Pax Cutie Guy

Do you have a personal space bubble? Great, because Pax would like to pop it with his nose. This black and white bovine spotted beauty isn't just a pet; he's a full time lifestyle upgrade. Pax is a walking, barking celebration of all things fun whether he's showing off his impressive tongue to nose reach or just hanging out while you tackle your day, he's doing it with 100% enthusiasm.

He's the kind of dog who treats every morning like he just won the lottery and every car ride like a trip to Disneyland. Pax has a PhD in Vibing and is a total socialite who has never met a stranger just friends he hasn't licked yet! He is the ultimate hang out dog, a devoted shadow who will happily follow you from the kitchen to the couch, ensuring you never have to binge watch a show alone again. If your dream home involves a devoted, silly, tuxedo clad companion who will never let you feel lonely, you're looking at him!

We think Pax is a dapper American Staffordshire Terrier mix. He's a sturdy, handsome lad at 78 lbs, which is the absolute perfect size for extra large hugging! He's surprisingly compact when he wants to be, especially when he's trying to convince you he's small enough to fit in your lap. As with all our wonderful rescues, his breed is a best guess, but his status as a World Class Snuggler is 100% verified!

Pax is currently a star student in a loving foster home, where he has proven to be a total plug and play companion! If you have a busy day planned ahead or just want to have a lazy one Pax understands. He is already crate and potty trained and has been a great big brother to the teens in his home. He can be a bit clumsy in not knowing his size, so he is best in a home with kids 10 and up. He does have a tiny bit of Fear of missing out when his humans leave, but it's very mild. He just really, really likes you and wants to be part of the action!

When it comes to other dogs, Pax is a total dog superstar! He gets along famously with dogs of all sizes and loves a good group run. He has a very respectful play style. He's happy to romp around, but he isn't afraid to give a polite hey, let's keep it chill if another dog gets a bit too rowdy. He'd be a fantastic match for a home with a low to medium energy dog who enjoys a good game of tag followed by a synchronized nap.

As for feline friends, Pax gave the resident kitty a curious sniff and then simply went about his business without any fuss. We believe he is willing to share his kingdom with a kitty, but Pax will have a kitty sleepover as a trial run to ensure they can officially become the bestest of buds!

Pax is a versatile guy who is ready to thrive just about anywhere! Whether you have a big fenced in yard for zoomies or a cozy apartment for afternoon naps, he'll be great. He's already doing great on his leash. One of his cutest quirks? He loves his toys especially the plush ones and he'll proudly carry his treasures around to show them off to anyone who will look.

In short, Pax is a bundle of joy, spots, and smiles. While he loves his toys and his car rides, what he wants most in the world is simply a home and a family to call his own. He's house ready, dog friendly, and ready to fill your life with a lifetime of loyalty and love.

Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog's growth and we enjoy seeing their progress! We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention.

Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
