Jax is a 13.5-year-old Mixed in Panama City, FL, who needs $600 for Advanced Liver disease and Cushing's disease treatments.

As many of our friends and family know, we do not have human children. Jax is our "child".I was with a relative one day, going to see the puppies her friends dog had. Had not planned on getting one...just love to see cute puppies. They were only one day old. The moment I saw him I just fell in love.We took him home (when he was old enough) and He has been our boy every since. Almost 14 years.

Jax is a silly fun loving pup. He loves attention and back rubs from all he meets. Watch out though because he is quick with the tounge and loves to give out kisses. Our family treats him like a family member not just a pet because he is so special to us. He has two cousin pups Berkley and Kuro he enjoys spending time with. He has a wild kitty brother he likes to play and cuddle with.

During the pandemic while schools were closed we had only one income. During this time Jax became sick. He has already had about $3000 in surgery, test and medications just since July.He still has more blood test needed and medications are at close to $400 a month right now

Jax has been under the care of Dr. Powell at Critter Care in Panama City, F. He wasn't feeling well so we spent weeks doing test and trying different treatments. Ultimately he had to have his spleen removed and had a liver biopsy. At which time we found he had advanced liver disease. He still wasn't feeling better so more test revealed Cushing's disease that he just started treatment for .

Jax is such a ham. He loves chasing balls at the park, car rides, and walks on the beach. If you aren't giving him the attention he thinks he should have, he is sure to let you know with a little grumble telling you come on it's time to play. At bed time he is so funny. He will give you a look,grumble and Nod when he is ready. And he means business and won't budge till we head to bed.
