Jackson

Jackson is a 14-month-old Husky-Shepherd-Pit bull mix and full of personality: he loves belly rubs, chewing toys, and treats, and will snooze in the car after just a few minutes on the road. Weighing 64 pounds and still very much a puppy at heart, Jackson is a fun, loving, and incredibly smart companion who thrives on mental and physical activity.<br/><br/>Jackson is house-trained and will let you know he needs to go out with a signature yip or a nose boop to your hip. He's crate-trained but also does fine free-roaming the house, as long as he has a dog companion in the house to pal around with. He's vocal in general, using barks and yips to communicate, so a home with no shared walls (no townhomes/apartments) will be required.<br/><br/>After some initial hesitation he gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and people alike--including kids he's met in public. He's been socializing all summer with weekly walks around the local pet store and does really well meeting and walking by strangers on 2 legs and 4. He does show some anxiety around very small children, so his future home cannot have children under the age of 5. Jackson lives peacefully with a resident dog and cat, and while he may bark or whine at a cat when he wants to play, he knows how to share space respectfully.<br/><br/>This charming boy is a quick learner who loves puzzles, tasks, and figuring things out. He loves gnawing on bones and hard chew toys/treats (but will settle for a toilet paper roll). With his high energy level, he'd love a fenced yard but could do well without one as long as he's given enough enrichment. He will need a doggie partner in the same home to help burn off his energy.<br/><br/>Jackson has a slight limp from a previous car accident (he favors his front right leg), but it doesn't slow him down and doesn't require ongoing medical treatment.<br/><br/>He's a bright, happy boy who's eager to please and ready to settle into a forever home!
