Jackson

Meet Jackson, our 118-pound gentle giant with a heart just as big as he is. Despite his size, he walks beautifully on leash and moves through life with an easygoing, affectionate nature. Jackson has been friendly when meeting other dogs at the shelter and may enjoy living with one, though we recommend a meet-and-greet with any resident pups. On a recent field trip, Jackson showed off his wonderful temperament—riding quietly in the car, exploring the park at a steady pace, navigating rocks and roots with surprising agility, and sharing plenty of slobbery kisses along the way. He’s social, gentle with treats, and a "go with the flow" kind of dog who charms everyone he meets. If you’re looking for a sweet, steady, lovable companion—and you have room for one very big, very gentle boy—come meet Jackson. He’s truly a great dog waiting for his perfect match.<br/><br/>This pet is eligible for an Adoption Audition! What is an Adoption Audition? It’s a 5 day, no-strings-attached, trial adoption period. You can take this pet home to try it out! Interested? Come to the shelter any time during open hours and talk to one of our Customer Care staff. <br/><br/>Jackson is going home with a $500 credit at Pender Veterinary Clinic and his adoption is fee-waived. The $500 credit at Pender is provided by the Friends of the Fairfax County Animal Shelter (FFCAS)! FFCAS is the nonprofit fundraising partner of Fairfax County Animal Services.
