JACKSON - PIT BULL TERRIER / HUSKY / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Husky / Mixed. Jackson is a 14-month-old Husky-Shepherd-Pit bull mix and full of personality: he loves belly rubs, chewing toys, and treats, and will snooze in the car after just a few minutes on the road. Weighing 64 pounds and still very much a puppy at heart, Jackson is a fun, loving, and incredibly smart companion who thrives on mental and physical activity. Jackson is house-trained and will let you know he needs to go out with a signature yip or a nose boop to your hip. He’s crate-trained but also does fine free-roaming the house, as long as he has a dog companion in the house to pal around with. He’s vocal in general, using barks and yips to communicate, so a home with no shared walls (no townhomes/apartments) will be required. After some initial hesitation he gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and people alike—including kids he’s met in public. He's been socializing all summer with weekly walks around the local pet store and does really well meeting and walking by strangers on 2 legs and 4. Jackson lives peacefully with a resident dog and cat, and while he may bark or whine at a cat when he wants to play, he knows how to share space respectfully. This charming boy is a quick learner who loves puzzles, tasks, and figuring things out. He loves gnawing on bones and hard chew toys/treats (but will settle for a toilet paper roll). He’s good on a leash outside, but with his high energy level, he’ll also require a securely fenced yard to run and play and would do best with a doggie partner in the same home. Jackson has a slight limp from a previous car accident (he favors his front right leg), but it doesn’t slow him down and doesn’t require ongoing medical treatment. He’s a bright, happy boy who’s eager to please and ready to settle into a forever home! Are you ready for Jackson?
