Jackson's Story

Currently fostered in: Brooklyn Park, MD<br/><br/>Meet Jackson!<br/><br/>Some dogs are content with minimal human interaction. <br/>Some dogs enjoy their personal space. <br/>Jackson? He has never heard of either of those things.<br/><br/>This big, goofy teddy bear adores people, has personality for days, and has one of the sweetest hearts you'll ever meet! At 2.5 years old and about 70 pounds, Jackson firmly believes he is the perfect size to be your personal shadow, weighted blanket, emotional support buddy, and full-time best friend. He takes the title 'sidekick' very seriously.<br/><br/>Privacy? Never met her. <br/><br/>Getting up to grab a snack? He's coming with you (and wants one too)<br/><br/>Going to run errands? He's by his leash ready to go!<br/><br/>Need to use the bathroom? Well... Jackson believes that's a team activity too.<br/><br/>This all means one thing: Once Jackson bonds with you- you've got the most loyal best friend for life. <br/><br/><br/>ENERGY AND PERSONALITY<br/>Jackson is everything people love about big dogs- equal parts sweetheart and goofball! He will make you laugh with his oversized puppy antics and his determination to convince you that he is lap-dog sized. <br/><br/>He adores meeting new people, listens well, and has a happy-go-lucky outlook on life that makes everyone fall in love with him. Jackson also loves toys, bones, car rides, naps in his humans bed, and is 100% convinced that every snack in your hand was probably meant for him. (Honestly...he makes a really compelling argument.)<br/><br/>Jackson has a medium/balanced energy level and is happy to lounge around OR go on an adventure. He doesn't care where you're going- he's just so grateful he gets to go with you!<br/><br/><br/>SOCIAL LIFE<br/>Jackson is known to quickly wins hearts whereever he goes. He gets along very well with other dogs, though his play style is best described as "VERY enthusiastic." He'd love a larger canine friend who enjoys roughhousing as much as he does or one who doesn't mind his goofy antics. He'd also be perfectly happy soaking up all of your attention as an only dog.<br/><br/><br/>IDEAL HOME ENVIRONMENT<br/>Like many rescue dogs, Jackson is still learning that being alone isn't so scary and that his humans will always be back for him. He would do best in a home where someone is home often, or where they can make arrangements for him to spend the day with someone while they are at work (i.e: doggie daycare, hanging out with a family member/friend/sitter, etc.)<br/><br/>After spending so much of his life without a family of his own, Jackson's hoping for a home that understands he's still healing from his rough start, will be patient as he continues to build confidence, and won't mind having a devoted sidekick who thinks life is better together. Jackson has brought so much joy to his foster home, so we know he will bring a ton of joy to your home too!<br/><br/>At the end of the day, Jackson is just a big sweet softie that has waited far too long for a furever family that shows him endless love and safety. Jackson has spent long enough wondering when it will finally be his turn. <br/><br/>If you're looking for a dog who will love you with his whole entire heart every single day for the rest of his life...<br/><br/>Jackson has been waiting his whole life for you.<br/><br/>INCLUDED VETERINARY CARE<br/>Jackson is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and receiving heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives along with routine parasite treatments and yearly routine heartworm/lyme testing.

Operation Paws for Homes's Adoption Policy
Our organization provides pet adoption services to families located in Virginia, Washington DC, Maryland, Southern Pennsylvania and neighboring states. We believe in responsible adoptions and strive to work with each adopter to find a good match for their home and lifestyle. Our adoption process includes completion of an application, a vet check, an interview, and a personal “meet and greet” where the family can meet and interact with their potential new four-legged family member. Throughout this process, we work to ensure each family and dog are the right fit for each other. We are fortunate to have some wonderful and active volunteers who help OPH find forever homes for over 1,000 dogs and cats a year. The key to that statement is - volunteer! Please remember that our organization is driven by caring individuals who give their personal time to help rescue these animals and provide them with the opportunity to find an amazing future! In addition to adoptions, volunteers carry out education and outreach events throughout the area, and conduct donation drives for our partner shelters in the south. Our goal is to offer a second chance to dogs and cats abandoned in shelters and out of time. Sadly, without our help, some of these adoptable animals would face almost certain euthanasia - sometimes within days of arriving at the shelter. Each year we rescue hundreds of wonderful dogs and cats. We work hard to unite them with forever families who will give them the life and love they deserve. These animals are saved only because of the dedication of our incredible adopters, fosters, donors, and volunteers.
