Jackson

Hi, I'm Jackson! Nice to meet you!<br/><br/>I'm an 11-year-old Border Collie/Greyhound mix, but I still play like a puppy and have a heart full of loyalty. I weigh about 48 pounds and have the agility and stamina to run, play, and explore. I used to live on a quiet rural property with the best human dad, where we had all the space in the world. After he passed away, life changed. I moved into town with my other human, and while we love each other deeply, the busy streets and close neighbors have been hard on both of us.<br/><br/>I have lots of energy and need daily exercise, whether that's structured walks, running in a safely fenced yard, or other activities that help me burn off both physical and mental energy. When I don't get enough outlets, my anxiety can increase.<br/><br/>I am very afraid of loud noises, and since losing my human dad I've developed anxiety, especially at night. Sometimes this makes it hard for me to settle, and I may try to dig in the corner of a room when I'm feeling overwhelmed. With patience, reassurance, and a calm environment, (including anxiety medication!) I do best.<br/><br/>On walks, I get overexcited or reactive when I see other dogs, deer, or unexpected things - I bark, pull on the leash and lunge, or try to chase. Because of this, I'm much happier in a quiet, country environment where I don't need to be on leash as often. In safe, off-leash areas, I relax, decompress, and can share space nicely with other dogs. The good news is my recall is strong, and I reliably come back to my person.<br/><br/>I'm very people-focused and love being close to my humans. I get excited to see kids, but because of my strength, energy, and anxiety, I would do best in a home without small children. My human loves me very much, but can no longer give me the space and exercise that help me feel calm and confident.<br/><br/>My ideal home is a quiet, rural setting or peaceful countryside property with one or two adults who understand anxiety and want a deeply loyal companion. I'd thrive as the only pet, where I can soak up all the love, constantly be by my person's side and feel secure again.<br/><br/>Does this sound like the right match? Please apply! I've been at SDRO for a long time and would love to find my second lease on life.
