Jackson's Story

Jackson is a staffy mix, about 1.6 yrs old. He is very energetic, he loves a good long walk, or a run and he loves to play with other dogs. Can be a bit rough when he plays, best paired with another dog of similar energy. NO CATS. Jackson appears to loath and despise cats and has told us, on several occasions, that cats are his mortal enemy. Kids ok, but older kids better than younger. Jackson is just too much for a toddler. Older kids best. Jackson's ideal home is in the country, with lots of space to run. He cannot be left to run loose because he will kill your neighbors cats, and very likely their chickens. So a secure, big fenced yard, with a couple off older kids (10 + ) to play with would be his ideal home...or with a single or married person who just loves a sweet an affectionate dog that loves to play, "rassle" and play fetch with. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped.

Animal Preservation of East Texas (APET)'s Adoption Policy

We have potential adopters apply for the animal they are wishing to adopt. We try to have an indepth conversation about what kind of pet they are seeking, which ones would be the best fit for them, and do they have the necessary home environment for the animal they wish to adopt. If we feel they meet the criteria for the home, we then ask to be allowed to contact their vet to make sure any other animals on the home are spayed/nuetered and up to date on vaccines. If we have any doubts at all, we schedule a home visit. We go out to the adopter's home and check their fence, their home, and any other animals they own. All of their own animals must be spayed and neutered and up to date on vaccines or they are not allowed to adopt any of ours. If everything passes inspection, they adoption is allowed to proceed and they return to the shelter to pick up the animal. Most times however, just having a conversation is sufficient. We make a copy of their ID, we have them fill out the application, we go over the most important parts of the application that we feel they need to pay attention to, and we allow the adoption to proceed.
