Hi, my name is Jaxx and I just joined the family of  Wichita Dog and Cat Hospital 4 months ago;  aren't I stunning?   I am  a Golden Retriever and weigh 82 pounds.  I was rescued from a Golden Retriever foster home  in Kansas City, after waiting for a new family for a whole year!  

As a result of being in a foster home for a year, I developed a few bad habits. 

    My mom says I am a "carb junkie," as I like to steal food from the table;  this is probably the  worst habit I have.  Mom decided that I needed lots of training and took me to Wag‘en Tail Ranch for a basic obedience.  That basic class turned out to be not enough so she enrolled me in Therapy Dog Class.  (What was she thinking?)   However, in June, I got my TDI license and became an official therapy dog! 

    I am ready to go visiting and plan to provide emotional 

support at the Children's Home in hopes of becoming a Reading Dog.  

A Reading Dog  listens to children read and in return, I will help them by being non-judgmental.  We hope to find a teacher who needs my services, at no charge, of course.  If you know anyone who needs us, please call the  office.

   Are you wondering how I got my name?.  Well, Jaxx is a famous soap 

opera star on General Hospital who is quite handsome and gives good 

kisses.  He looks pretty huggable too.  I know I am!

    I am at the office most mornings so come by and say hello.  I 

want to shake your hand and show you my many tricks.  I know we'll be 

great friends.  

Hugs and kisses,

Jaxx
