Meet Jackson, a lively 6-year-old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix searching for his forever home. After losing two previous owners, he hopes to find a person or family that will cherish him for life. This energetic little guy loves his walks and enjoys playing with toys, chewing on sticks, and being close to his humans—he's quite the little shadow, often following you everywhere. Keep your eyes peeled for his adorable kisses, especially when you get too close! At night, Jackson prefers to snuggle up in bed, either beside your leg or back. He enjoys lap time and watching TV together. Although he gets along with other dogs, Jackson values his personal space. A calm, adult-only home without children would be ideal, as he appreciates a quiet environment. Jackson doesn’t like being alone and may bark a bit when you leave. He’s also quite the alert companion, making apartment living less suitable. Grooming can be tricky; he’s sensitive about being handled and may need sedation for visits. It’s important that his new owner has experience with dogs and is willing to be patient with him. Jackson's quirks are part of his charm. He promises to be a delightful sidekick filled with personality and affection. If you respect his boundaries and provide the companionship he craves, Jackson will be the entertaining little shadow meant for you. Adoption fee is $450 plus tax. What are you waiting for?
