Jax is a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois adopted from San Diego Department of Animal Services Bonita Shelter in September 2016. Jax is full of spunk and life, and we are thrilled to have him in our program. He is very affectionate, enjoys going for walks and loves playing ball as a training reward. Jax has been matched with United States Marine Corps Veteran, Angel Alvarez and the two have such a great bond. We can’t wait to see them progress through their training!
Jax’s adoption, training, housing, care, and future placement and graduation with a post-9/11 combat veteran is being generously sponsored by Red Star Sponsor, Doggy ‘Poo Shampoo by UNITE hair, a global hair styling products company who will donate 100% of all net proceeds of the product to San Diego Humane Society and Shelter to Soldier™.
