About Jackson! Sweet Old Boy

Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now! Meet Jackson, a spirited Jack Russell mix who weighs around 15 pounds but has a personality much bigger! Although surrendered at 16 years old, his foster family marvels at his lively and playful nature—he certainly seems younger. Jackson is thriving in his foster home with cats, children as young as six, and dogs of all sizes. He’s truly fabulous with everyone and everything! His foster mom says Jackson is "cool as heck" and an absolute delight in the house. He has excellent house manners, does not need to be crated while you work, and gets assistance with stairs, but otherwise you'd never guess he's considered a senior. Jackson recently had a complete dental. Due to past neglect, he had to have several teeth removed, so he'll do best with small bites and softer food. Now, he’s a happy, healthy little guy eager for a loving home—no matter how long you can offer him. If you're ready to shower him with the love and comfort he deserves, he's patiently waiting to join your family! Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
