About Jackson

Start your journey together! Apply now. Jackson is an energetic and entertaining 2-3 year old, weighing in at about 70 lbs. He is crate trained, housebroken, and currently working on his leash-walking skills. Jackson came to the rescue after recovering from both hip and shoulder surgery, fully healed and ready to enjoy an active lifestyle. He loves to spend time with people and naps in the afternoon are a favorite part of his day. Jackson is very friendly and social, especially around cats. While he hasn't been introduced to dogs, he gets visibly excited when he spots the neighbor's dogs and often waits by the fence hoping they will come play. He still exhibits some puppy-like behaviors, such as chewing on toys—or perhaps the occasional slipper or sock if left unattended—which makes playful distractions a must for this fun-loving dog. Jackson has a playful and humorous personality. To keep him safe, a home with older kids or adults is recommended, as keeping doors and gates securely closed is important because he can’t resist a chance to explore if given an open opportunity. Although neutered, he may still show a bit of that adventurous spirit. With some ongoing guidance on manners and jumping, Jackson promises to be a happy and beloved addition to any family. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
