JAXSON IS A NEUTERED MALE AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG/BLUE HEELER MIX THAT CAME INTO THE SHELTER AS A STRAY. WE ARE ESTIMATING HIS AGE AT AROUND 5-7 YEARS OLD AND HE WEIGHS 43.6 LBS. JUST A REAL NICE SIZE WITH A GORGEOUS BLUE TICK COLORED COAT THAT REQUIRES LITTLE MAINTENANCE.

JAXSON WALKS WELL WITH JUST A SLIP LEASH BUT WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE USE OF A HARNESS.

THIS BREED OF DOG IS KNOWN FOR THEIR INTELLIGENCE AND THAT’S THE CASE WITH JAXSON. HE KNOWS THE BASIC COMMANDS OF SIT, DOWN, SHAKE, AND STAY AND WILL COME TO YOU WHEN CALLED. IN THE EXERCISE YARD, HE LIKES TO JUST FOLLOW ME AROUND, PROBABLY HOPING TO GET ANOTHER TREAT. ? VERY TREAT MOTIVATED AND GENTLE TAKING THEM.

I WOULD DESCRIBE JAXSON HAVING LOW TO MEDIUM ENERGY AND A CALM DEMEANOR. JUST A VERY FRIENDLY DOG THAT IS HAPPY TO BE BY YOUR SIDE AND SOAK UP ANY ATTENTION YOU WILL GIVE HIM.
JAXSON HAS DONE WELL WITH OTHER DOGS AT THE SHELTER BUT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE A DOG IN YOUR HOME, WE WILL DO A MEET & GREET AT THE SHELTER.

ANOTHER GREAT DOG THAT HAS NO IDEA HOW HE ENDED UP HERE. STILL GOT HALF HIS LIFE IN FRONT OF HIM BUT HE NEEDS SOME HELP. HE NEEDS SOMEONE TO GIVE HIM THAT CHANCE. ARE YOU THAT PERSON TO GET HIM OUT OF HIS KENNEL TO SEE IF HE IS THE DOG YOU BEEN LOOKING FOR. GOT JUST A FEW MINUTES TO FIND OUT?


*The spay/neuter surgery is included in the adoption fee of $125. * We always prefer that our animals go to indoor homes. 
*OWNING a pet is a lifetime commitment! Please be ready to make that commitment before you adopt a pet! 
*BREED DISCLOSURE: Due to the fact that most of our adoptable pets are strays, we cannot guarantee their breed. We list the pets breed as the one that best matches the physical appearance, temperament, and personality of the animal-in some cases its purely a guess. The pet may also be listed as a mix when it’s actually a purebred.
Please fill out an adoption application at www.cedar-rapids.org/animal. Once the application is approved, you will be able to meet with the dog you want to see.
