About Jackson

Jackson is a lively 7-month-old lab mix who brings an energetic vibe wherever he goes. His playful spirit is infectious, making every moment feel like an adventure. Despite spending 12 weeks in a shelter and overcoming parvo, he’s learned the joys of being a dog and is now ready to embrace life to the fullest. This food-motivated pup loves to learn and has shown great progress with leash and kennel training. He enjoys chewing, so providing him with plenty of appropriate toys is a must. Jackson thrives on activity — he’s all about hiking, running, and any fun training games that keep his mind and body engaged. Jackson would do well with another playful dog who can match his energy, but he can also shine as the only pet. He’s not a fit for families with young children due to his bounciness and tendency to be mouthy. A secure yard is vital to accommodate his athleticism, and he’s proven he can stay safely in a 6-foot fenced area. If you’re seeking a spirited companion who will keep you on your toes, Jackson is your guy. He’s overcome many challenges and now needs an active family prepared to make his potential a reality. Professional obedience training from a certified trainer is required for all adoptions. Ready to make a new friend? Apply today!
