Jackson *FOSTER NEEDED TOO!
Retriever / Shepherd / Mixed (short coat) · Senior (8 years 8 months) · Male · Medium · Atlanta, GA
Notes from Doggie Harmony
Meet Jackson – A Laid-Back Gentleman Looking for His Soft Landing
Like many of us, Jackson is adjusting to some unexpected life changes. This Heinz 57 mix spent seven wonderful years with his family before discovering that life with a toddler wasn’t quite his speed (honestly… relatable).
Despite the upheaval, Jackson remains a sweet, well-mannered Good Dog™. He’s house-trained, crate-trained (and actually loves his crate), and knows multiple commands and tricks. Bonus for fellow homebodies: Jackson is not a fan of walks, but he is an expert couch companion, backyard zoomie enthusiast, and sunbathing nap professional.
His ideal home would be adults or teens, a fenced yard, and a calm environment. Jackson can live with another dog or even a dog-savvy cat, but he’ll need slow, thoughtful introductions to set everyone up for success.
Jackson at a Glance:
Age: 9 years
Weight: ~50 lbs
Temperament: Great with adults/teens, dogs with slow intros, okay with dog-savvy cats
Training: Housetrained, crate-trained, knows commands and tricks
Vetting: Neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative
If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion who just wants to relax by your side, Jackson may be your perfect match.
