About Dax

Dax is a beautiful dog who was rescued as a stray and brought into the shelter after the vet confirmed he had no microchip. He arrived at the very end of the year, so he didn’t exactly see in 2025 in the most positive way, but we can only hope next NYE will be a different story for him!

Dax is a head turner for sure and he resembles a miniature wolf. He’s also the proud owner of the world’s most expressive ears and the cutest head tilt. He found the shelter to be very overwhelming to start with and it took a while for him to come out of his shell, but he’s adjusted well over the past few weeks and we can really see his cheeky personality starting to shine through now. He’s a very funny boy with a silly nature, and he gets very excited to meet new people. He is however a little submissive with other dogs, and sometimes this can lead to him being bullied among more confident characters.

Despite this, you can also see that Dax gains confidence in the company of other dogs and he observes their behaviour before mimicking it in situations he’s not sure about. He could definitely live alongside a well-matched resident dog, but with a little time we’re sure he would also come to navigate the world as an only dog too.

We’re not sure of Dax’s history, but he seems to have had little training and is therefore a bit unsure about things like walking on the lead, so will need a bit of guidance and reassurance in his new home. We’re working on teaching him to sit for a treat, but he sometimes just gets so giddy, so it’s a work in progress! Outside of a high adrenaline shelter setting Dax will be able to learn much more easily.

Dax would be best suited to a home outside of the city where it’s a bit calmer and quieter. He would welcome a semi-rural surrounding area, a garden, and a moderately active lifestyle with a family prepared to do some entry level training. He’ll need a little patience as he adjusts from shelter dog to companion, but he has so much potential and will blossom given the opportunity.

Dax is currently based in Cyprus and has a clean bill of health. He is ready to travel once he finds his forever home.
