Jax and Jazz are two adorable siblings who share a strong bond.
The Blue Merle Catahoula mix pair were completely inseparable. They once had a warm and happy home, and life seemed perfect.
But everything changed for the two dogs when they least expected it.
Their owner, who was being deployed to the U.S. Air Force, was forced to make a heartbreaking decision. They said goodbye and left Jax and Jazz in the care of the Humane Society of Broward County, located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Suddenly finding themselves inside the shelter, Jax and Jazz longed for their owner and the peaceful life they had known.
Hoping For A New Beginning
Not long after arriving at the shelter, staff members began to notice that the dogs had different temperaments. Jazz was calm and easygoing, while Jax had boundless energy.
The staff quickly grew fond of the siblings and worked to find them a home where they could stay together.
One week later, a kind family stepped up to adopt the pair, offering them the future they deserved.
Jax and Jazz were thrilled to have a second chance at happiness.
Sadly, that happiness was short-lived for Jax.
The adopting family soon realized they couldn’t handle both dogs and chose to return Jax just 24 hours after taking him home.
“Because Jax was the hyper one who was dominant in play with his sister, he was brought back to the shelter,” Humane Society Broward County wrote on Instagram.
Once Jax realized he was back behind the four kennel walls, he was confused. The pup was separated from his sister for the first time in his life.
Jax Meets The Right Match
Even so, Jax stayed strong. He refused to give up and continued to hope for a family who would love him as he was.
The Florida shelter shared his story on social media, hoping it would lead him to a home.
They explained that Jax would need a patient and dedicated family who could help with training and keep him engaged.
“Jax is still growing and developing, so patience is everything! Jax would do best in a home with an experienced and attentive owner that will dedicate time to exercising and training this gorgeous dog,” the shelter added.
Fortunately, just a few hours after posting about him, someone kindhearted reached out and offered to give Jax a forever home.
The shelter team was thrilled to see Jax finally find someone. He’s now the only pet in the household, and his caregivers believe he will enjoy soaking up all the love and attention.
