A volunteer writes: A handsome little peanut, Pax was sitting up front in his kennel ready for an early morning walk. Taking care of his business was his first priority once outside (confirming that hes very housetrained per his former owner) and then we are off to the park. Pax pulls on the leash a bit in his joy to be out, doing little skips and bounces as we go. His little bunny hops are so cute passersby smile down at him. In the park, Pax poses for photos doing the head tilt thing I love, shows off his sit and takes treats gently (before spitting them out when not to his liking!). Hes alert and happy sitting by my side in the park simply watching the world go by. We are told that Pax spent time with kids of all ages and was respectful of them, is very people friendly with all, does not guard his things, and was described by his former owner as the best dog ever. Pax is well behaved when left home alone, loves playing in the snow, and sleeping. Staff tells me Pax gets the zoomies when first brought out into a pen for some off leash time, and then comes to sit by his person for quiet time. With his beautiful soft coat which calls out for stroking, his markings are unique, and the little brindle patch on his rump made me think that he?s wearing little bikini panties! So cute! Lively and at the same time ready to cherish quiet time with his person, Pax is hoping to find a new home with you today.

For a New Family to Know: He was described as the best dog ever, friendly and affectionate but not good with other dogs. His activity level was high. His previous owners favorite thing was that he would say goodbye and smile every time she left the house. His favorite activities were running in central park, playing in the snow, and sleeping. At home he would follow his previous owner around. He was kept mostly indoors. He slept in his previous owners bed and in his own bed at times. His diet consisted of Blue Buffalo Dry Food. He was very house trained and would rarely have accidents. He would go potty on the curb and on the grass. He was well behaved when left alone. He knew how to sit and stay on command. He would run on leash for exercise and he pulled lightly on it.
