Jameson

Jameson has been with us a year now and we are still struggling to find the right home for this sweet boy, who is so endearing and very adoptable! Jameson was saved from the e-list at MCACC where he was listed for being too scared.<br/><br/>One of the first things we learned about Jameson after he arrived is that he actually survived distemper as a puppy. This is a VERY rare disease to survive, so this lucky boy has cheated death twice now! His teeth are a little worse than normal for his age (typical of distemper survivors) and he has some minor neurological traits that are remnants of the disease. For example, his tongue sticks out a little bit, and he can struggle with walking up stairs – though not for lack of trying!<br/><br/>Jameson is a very lovable, goofy boy with so much personality. He is more high-energy and loves to play with other dogs and to chase lizards in his yard. He does well with the other large dogs and he likes running up and down the fence with his neighbors’ smaller dog – he may be ok in a home with small dogs, but we haven’t tested a play date yet. He loves walks and walks very well with minimal pulling. He has not shown any desire to escape his fenced-in yard and his foster says he even has great recall, which is more rare for a husky. He does fine in a crate but will whine as he does not like to be confined to that small space. With a yard he is very independent and can keep himself busy.<br/><br/>Jameson has some minor resource-guarding issues with treats that have improved leaps and bounds since he came to us. He had just one resource-guarding bite, and after this we sent him to a board and train program. He has not had a single incident since then, and with warning from his foster will allow her to take things from him with no issues now! Jameson loves food and treats, so positive reinforcement works great for him. His trainer left us with some very helpful notes on him at the conclusion of his training:<br/><br/>Jameson is a super sweet and funny boy that tries to do things right. His future owner just needs to be patient because the neurological damage is definitely a bit of a handicap at times. I know Jameson knows the commands but I do give him time to put his body in the right, most comfortable position. So, he might not fall down the instant I ask him to lay down or sit but he is obeying and I can tell he tries. He gets distracted easily but all it takes it a little reminder, a second command, and he is back in business. Jameson has never tried to be a brat or very sassy.<br/><br/>Jameson is very affectionate and loves to cuddle up on you once he gets to know you. He has done well around teenagers in his foster home and new strangers. He’s also talkative and loves to sings the husky song, especially around people and cars. He needs someone who is active but also patient. He’s a very good boy but just needs someone who is willing to understand and work with him. A home with one or more other active dogs would be ideal an outlet for his energy. If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving adventure buddy, Jameson is your guy!<br/><br/>As our current featured Spotlight Dog, Jameson's fee is WAIVED to the right home.
