Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Greetings people! My name is Jackson. I am a shy kind of dog and I am a bit insecure so being told to write my own bio is a bit daunting. However, I am up to the challenge so here goes.
I am very friendly, for starters. I don’t let my shyness get in the way of being an amiable and well behaved dog. I very much enjoy giving and receiving loving attention but I am just not one of those bouncy, slobbery dogs who clamor for attention and cuddles.
I like men and women just about equally and I think children are good too. I would do best in a home that is calm and doesn’t have much commotion. Therefore I am not sure if children would really be great in my immediate family because is a commotion-free home possible if there are children around? (Tee hee!) I get along with friendly dogs. However, I am sorry, but I need a home without cats. I believe that cats are made for chasing but they don’t seem to agree!
I love walks and exploring places with new scents is extremely fun. I walk well on a leash. Car rides are good too. I have had no formal training but I sit politely when told. I am housetrained but I need to be let out regularly. It would be really lovely to have a family where one or other member is home frequently. Also I will need some guidance and a refresher course as to where I am allowed “to tinkle.” This is unrelated to being housetrained and the folks here at MaxFund can give you lots of pointers about it. Helping me understand what to do (or not do) will just take a bit of patience and time for me to get used to my home.
I enjoy having a blanket and maybe a pillow so I can burrow down and feel warm and secure. Other than that I can’t think what else to say. Oh – my breed and how old am I? I am a 9 year old Miniature Pinscher or “Min Pin.” Min Pins are not, contrary to popular belief, miniature Doberman pinchers. We are actually an older breed with our own unique characteristics. Of course I am black and tan so I do look a bit like a (very) mini Doberman! Being 9, I am middle aged but that just means I am mature and as a small breed dog I look forward to many active and happy days ahead of me!
I am told every bio needs a sum up so: I promise that you will find me a loyal and loving companion who will appreciate every member of my forever family. Please come and visit me – I am very much looking forward to meeting you!
Update: I am currently in a foster home receiving lots of love, but I'm still searching for my FOREVER home! If you are interested in meeting me, please contact my Foster Mom at:Home/Cell (720) 490-9291. Email smsonne@hotmail.comThanks! I look forward to finding a forever home!!!
