  — Hayley G.

• “Hi, my name is Ajax! I'm a black lab mix and everyone says my blue and brown eyes are so pretty. I am really friendly with dogs, but sometimes I'm nervous around people. When I'm scared, I bark and try to hide, but I'm never aggressive. I'm excited to meet everyone.“

  — Chase T.

• “I'm a high energy Catahoula puppy who loves to run and play! I can be reactive because I'm wary of new things, but I settle after a bit. I love to work and sniff!“

  — Christy S.

• “Ajax’s favorite things in the world are food, water, and cats!! He also loves smaller dogs as he gets more nervous when they’re bigger than him. He is very smart and loves to learn how to do new things! He especially loves jumping and agility!“

  — Kenzie A.

• “Rescue dog from Texas puppy mill. Had a VERY rough start in life. He had no playmates, or toys. He doesn't know what to do with toys, or how to play gently with other dogs.“

  — Kate F.

He was in a couple of rescues ( over a month but we’re not sure how long) before we adopted him in August 2024. Ajax loves to sniff and explore. He loves camping , nesting in blankets, and car rides.“

  — Linda D.

• “Hi, my name is Ajax. I am a 7 year old Rhodesian ridgebackmix. I can be pretty emotional sometimes. This causes me to not be well around other dogs or humans besides my mom. Though I act like this, I still am a dog who loves doing everything any other dog does. Such as, going to play ball, going on long walks and even jumping in the water to get my tennis ball.“

  — Madison P.

• “Ajax is a friendly, sweet senior dog who loves to wander and explore, especially in water!“

  — Hannah H.

  — Dania M.

• “Hi, I'm Ajax. I am a hound mix and I love to run and bark at squirrels. I'm a bit of a scardy cat but I love my people.“
