Dax has led a privileged and comfortable life as an apartment dog and now he's looking to shake things up and wants to live with an energetic family that has a huge backyard for him to run and let loose in.

Dax arrived at Pets Fur People in Tyler, Texas as a surrender because his owners were going through a divorce and neither one of them had the time to care for this 7-year-old guy. His owners were all he ever knew and they just surrendered him to the shelter. Since arriving though Dax has made many new canine friends, but is ultimately looking for his fur-ever home.

Dax is a Catahoula and Plotthound mix. He weighs about 80 pounds and is a pretty docile and calm guy. He's lived in an apartment for more than 6 years and he's pretty smart 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 big fluffy dog bed, a collar and leash, and a certificate for half-price basic obedience training from Tyler Obedience Training Club.
