Ever since Jaxton Betschart was born, he loved animals. He is now an adorable 4-year-old, surrounded by many pets in his house. They all love him, and this little man knows how to respect his best friends. His parents are very proud that he\u2019s learned all of this at such a young age. At the moment, he and his family have four rescue dogs and two rescue cats<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

And now, Jaxton has done an amazing thing. He\u2019s used his allowance to rescue two pit bull dogs<\/strong>. Here\u2019s how they reacted!<\/p>\n

20. Geo is the Favorite One<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Jaxton loves all his pets, but he\u2019s very close to Geo, who is quite a calm pup. His family has pets of different breeds and personalities, but they don\u2019t have Jaxton\u2019s favorite kind of dogs: pit bulls<\/strong>. Why is he drawn to them?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

19. Learning About Animal Rescues<\/h2>\n
\"\"
iheartdogs.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018Over the past year he has really become aware of what his favorite type of dog is, pit bulls, and about animal rescues,\u2019<\/strong> said his mother, Elyse Betschart. She explains that he\u2019s around her, volunteering and learning about rescuing animals.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

18. Animal Lover<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Elyse explains that her boy learned about \u2018adopting, volunteering, sponsorship,<\/strong> and education, and so it only made sense that Jax would become a (slightly) overzealous animal lover like me.\u2019 He even had a name for animal shelters\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

17. \u2018Cute Factories\u2019<\/h2>\n
\"\"
iheartdogs.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In their spare time, Jax and his mom would visit shelters in the area so that Jax could\u00a0cuddle<\/strong> and love all the cats and dogs in need of a friend before they get forever families. There he met Tank, a beautiful pit bull.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

16. Look at This Guy!<\/h2>\n
\"\"
iheartdogs.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018Mommy! He\u2019s big and chunky just like me<\/strong>!\u2019 said Jax to his mom, rushing to pet Tank\u2019s enormous head through the bars of his enclosure. Whenever he visits the animals in the shelter, he asks about them\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

15. I Love You, Pup!<\/h2>\n
\"\"

\u2018He likes to visit with the dogs and cats<\/strong> and ask them how they’re doing and to wish them good luck on finding their new family,\u2019 explained Betschart. Every animal he meets; he tells them he loves them for this adorable reason\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

14. A New Shelter to Visit<\/h2>\n
\"\"
iheartdogs.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Betschart said that Jax knows that some people can \u2018give up their animals for many reasons, and he makes it his mission to tell each dog and cat<\/strong> he sees that he loves them<\/strong>.\u2019 One day, she took Jax to the Charleston Animal Society (CAS).<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

13. Jax Met Penelope<\/h2>\n
\"\"
imgur.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When Jax and his mom were walking through the shelter, he spotted a pit bull called Penelope and fell in love with her. \u2018Jaxton wanted to adopt Penelope<\/strong>, a petite spotted pittie,\u2019 said his mom.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

12. She\u2019s Spot<\/h2>\n
\"\"
iheartdogs.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018He loved the spots on her face, and decided that he would name her Spot<\/strong>,\u2019 continued the mom. However, Jaxton is a Marine, and the family has to go back to base housing, where they don\u2019t allow pit bulls\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

11. A Better Idea<\/h2>\n
\"\"
imgur.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jaxton knew he couldn\u2019t adopt pit bulls, so his mom came with a better idea. Sponsor Penelope aka Spot: \u2018A lot of people don\u2019t realize that sponsorship<\/strong> is an option, that you can actually tie that money to a face.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10. Her Guardian Angel<\/h2>\n
\"\"
imgur.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At the CAS, there is a program called Guardian Angel<\/strong>, where a person can pay a part of the adoption fee. And when Jaxton heard about it, he was happy to help. You won\u2019t believe what he told his mom!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

9. I Have Money!<\/h2>\n
\"\"
iheartdogs.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

His mom said that \u2018once I told Jax we could do that, he said it was ‘a good deal’<\/strong> and told me he had money at home to pay for Penelope\/Spot.\u2019 And you might think that this is all, but there\u2019s actually more!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

8. I Will Loan You the Money<\/h2>\n
\"\"
iheartdogs.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After his mom said that she would loan him the money, they \u2018started walking out of the dog room and right before we left, Jax saw Tank<\/strong>.\u2019 This other pit bull at the CAS was also available for adoption, and Jaxton was thrilled to help him too\u2026<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

7. But Can We Get Tank?<\/h2>\n
\"\"
iheartdogs.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If he couldn\u2019t take Spot, Jax thought that maybe Tank would be ok. His mom said that Jax wanted Tank home \u2018so the two of them could play Incredible Hulk together.\u2019 He told his mom that \u2018Tank was his new best friend<\/strong> in the whole wide world.\u2019<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

6. You Can Sponsor Tank Too<\/h2>\n
\"\"

Then, his mom told him that he couldn\u2019t adopt Tank either, but he can sponsor him<\/strong> like Spot. He proudly walked out the dog room and told the staff at the shelter he wanted to be Penelope\u2019s and Tank\u2019s angel. He was a guardian angel for dogs ever since he was a tiny man!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

5. The Guardianship Certificate<\/h2>\n
\"\"

A staff member at CAS took a photo of Jax with the two pups and his certificate<\/strong> of being a guardian angel for the two pit bulls. As soon as it was posted on the CAS Facebook page, it went viral<\/strong>, and people acted fast! Here are Jax’s dogs at home.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

4. Making a Difference<\/h2>\n
\"\"

After Jax has done the incredible act of kindness, Penelope and Tank had an easier way to find their homes. On Facebook, he gathered over 6,000 likes and over 200 comments were asking how to become guardian angels<\/strong> too!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

3. Following Jax\u2019s Example<\/h2>\n
\"\"
facebook.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tank and Penelope found their own families very fast, and the CAS received many donations and sponsorships in just a few days. Many other animals received sponsorship too! Betschart felt incredibly happy that her son inspired so many people\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. Giving Shelter Dogs a Voice…<\/h2>\n
\"\"

\u2018Knowing that my son was the catalyst for the community coming together to give shelter dogs a voice makes me feel incredibly blessed<\/strong>,\u2019 said Jax\u2019s mother. Here she is with all their pups, taking a nap.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. Sponsor A Pet<\/h2>\n
\"\"
facebook.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Helping shelters by sponsoring the abandoned animals can improve their chances of getting adopted. This family dreams to start their own dog rescue<\/strong>, where Jax can play and love all of the animals out there!<\/p>\n

As for the mom, she laughed, saying that she feels \u2018like I\u2019ve done my job<\/strong> \u2013 like I can retire as a mom<\/strong>!\u2019 She knew this tiny guy is special!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
