Description:

Jackson is a young blue merle with one beautiful blue and one beautiful brown eye. Family life is a new experience for Jackson. His foster told us: “Every day I see progress with his new life which you can tell he is on cloud nine about!” Jackson seems to really enjoy air conditioning. It is not surprising that he is shy and acts a bit warily until he becomes used to new people and routines. He reacts to loud noises, but calms when he is comforted or petted. Did I mention he LOVES being petted? He loves it more than almost anything but also loves his toys, especially the squeaky ones. Outdoors, he loves to play and enjoys being with the other dogs. On a leash, he reacts to cars and loud noises, but a comforting voice and invitation to keep walking helps him keep his cool. Indoors, he loves cuddling and especially enjoys being petted around his head.So far he has ignored the resident cat.

Jackson is a sweet, young boy who is looking for a family who will be just a bit patient with him as he learns the ropes of household living, and we know he will flourish and reward that family by being himself: playful, cuddly and sweet.
