My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jackson Pollock may not be painting masterpieces, but he’s certainly creating one with his journey here! This handsome boy can be a little nervous in the shelter environment and tends to be cautious around new people—but don’t let that fool you. Once he knows you, Jackson is incredibly loyal, loving, and full of playful energy.

He’s been making great progress every day, slowly building trust and showing more of his goofy, affectionate personality. Jackson loves to play and is always up for some fun—especially if treats are involved (they’re definitely the way to his heart!).

With a little patience and a lot of snacks, Jackson Pollock is sure to become someone's most devoted companion. If you believe in giving a shy dog the chance to shine, Jackson is ready to meet his person.
