Jax is being raised and trained to provide life-changing independence to someone with a physical disability other than visual impairment or to work with a professional such as a teacher, psychologist or victim services worker to help support a healthy community.
In August, 2023, Jax took the next step in his journey and entered Advanced Training where heβll learn the skills needed to support his future partner.
After careful consideration, Jax was released from the Puppy Raising Program. Unfortunately, Jax’ lack of vigour makes him unsuitable for a career as a working dog. He has settled in beautifully to his new home as a pampered pet. We hope that he enjoys the pet life! Thanks to everyone who had a part in Jax’ journey. All the best to you, Jax!
