About Jackson

Meet Jackson. He’s a lively 6-year-old Maltese/Shih Tzu mix searching for his forever home. After losing both of his previous owners, Jackson hopes his next family will truly cherish him. This energetic little guy loves going for walks, playing with toys, and enjoying his favorite chew sticks. He’ll follow you everywhere, even if it means sticking close while you’re in the bathroom. Jackson is definitely an attention hog, soaking up affection and ready to give a kiss right on the face when you get close! At night, he loves to cuddle up in bed, often snuggled against your legs while watching TV together. Jackson does well with other dogs but prefers his own space and isn’t fond of being crowded. He would thrive in a calm, adult-only home, where his boundaries are respected. He isn’t a fan of being left alone and might bark a bit when you do. Due to his alert nature, noisy apartment living wouldn’t suit him. Grooming can be tricky since Jackson has some sensitivity, making an experienced dog owner best equipped for his needs. He might require sedation for grooming or someone willing to approach him slowly and patiently. Jackson has his quirks, but he brings a ton of personality and love to the table. He’ll be a delightful little companion, always eager to cozy up and steal your lap. He’s ready for a family that can appreciate his unique traits and will let him be the charming shadow he was meant to be. Adoption fee is $450 plus tax. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
