Story

💙Meet Jackson!💙
This big, goofy teddy bear adores people, has personality for days, and has one of the sweetest hearts you'll ever meet!
At 2.5 years old and about 75 pounds, Jackson firmly believes he is the perfect size to be your personal shadow, weighted blanket, emotional support buddy, and full-time best friend. He takes the title 'sidekick' very seriously.
Privacy? Never met her.
Getting up to grab a snack? He's coming with you (and wants one too!)
Going to run errands? He's at the door ready to go!
Need to use the bathroom? Well... Jackson believes that's a team activity too.
This all means one thing: Once Jackson bonds with you- you've got the most loyal best friend for life.
💙ENERGY AND PERSONALITY💙
Jackson is everything we love about big dogs— equal parts sweetheart and goofball! He charms everyone he meets, and is sure to make you laugh with his oversized puppy antics and his determination to convince you that he is lap-dog sized.
He adores meeting new people, listens well, and has a happy-go-lucky outlook on life that makes everyone fall in love with him. Jackson also loves toys, bones, car rides, naps in his humans bed, and is 100% convinced that every snack in your hand was probably meant for him. (Honestly...he makes a really compelling argument.)
Jackson has a balanced energy level and is happy to lounge around OR go on an adventure. He has recently been to birthday parties, yoga classes, the beach, etc. and had a blast everywhere he went! He doesn't care where you're going- he's just so grateful he gets to go with you!
💙SOCIAL LIFE💙
Jackson is known to quickly win hearts wherever he goes. He gets along very well with other dogs of all sizes, though his play style is best described as "VERY enthusiastic." He'd love a larger canine friend who enjoys roughhousing as much as he does or a canine companion who doesn't mind his goofy antics. He'd also be perfectly happy soaking up all of your attention as an only dog. Jackson currently lives in a foster home with two cats and bounces between polite curiosity and chasing them in an effort to get them to play with him.
💙IDEAL HOME ENVIRONMENT💙
Like many rescue dogs, Jackson is still learning that being alone isn't so scary and that his humans will always be back for him. He would do best in a home where someone is home often, or where they can make arrangements for him to spend the day with someone while they are at work (i.e.: doggie daycare, hanging out with a family member/friend/sitter, etc.)
After spending so much of his life without a family of his own, Jackson's hoping for a home that understands he's still healing from his rough start, will be patient as he continues to build confidence, and won't mind having a devoted sidekick who thinks life is better together. Jackson has brought so much joy to his foster home, so we know he will bring a ton of joy to your home too!
At the end of the day, Jackson is just a big sweet softie that has waited far too long for a furever family that shows him endless love and safety. Jackson has spent long enough wondering when it will finally be his turn.
If you're looking for a dog who will love you with his whole entire heart every single day for the rest of his life...
Jackson has been waiting his whole life for you.
💙INCLUDED VETERINARY CARE💙
Jackson is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and receiving heartworm, flea, and tick preventatives along with routine parasite treatments and yearly routine heartworm/lyme testing.
