Energetic 7-Year-Old Dax Is Looking For His Fur-Ever Home

Life deals us all curve balls from time to time and we just deal with them and adjust. The same thing happens to animals too. At one point, Dax was living a comfortable and privileged life as an apartment dog. However, when things changed between his owners his life was upended and dramatically changed too.

Dax is now looking for an energetic family to play with him. He's looking for a good-sized backyard so he can run around and let loose and be a dog with you and the kids.

Dax has been living at Pets Fur People in Tyler, Texas now for a little over a year and a half because his previous owners surrendered him to the shelter. Since arriving, Dax has made many new canine friends and is still holding out hope on ultimately finding his next fur-ever home.

Dax is a 7-year-old Catahoula and Plotthound mix. He weighs about 80 pounds and is a pretty docile and calm guy. He's lived in an apartment for most of his life and he's a pretty smart dog too. He has been house-trained and knows some basic commands. Pets Fur People's executive director Gayle Helms says Dax is a "sweet guy [who] plays well with children, knows some basic commands, and likes to ride in the car." He's a big couch potato too.

He will go home with a starter kit of food, a collar, and a leash.
