Age: 12 months Gender: Male Color: Black/White Weight: 45 lbs. Variety: Field-Bred Hey, it's me! Birthday Boy Jackson! I just turned one year old and need you to help me celebrate my birthday! You'll love my soft, silky fur. I'm a cute, healthy, loveable, and friendly guy that listens pretty well for a former free wheeling dog. You just need to work with me a little on this. My former owner surrendered me because she couldn't walk me and play with me and set enforceable rules. And that chain! I just have to have a big fenced yard to run in and explore. My foster mom calls me Action Jackson. One year olds are kind of energetic, ‘ya know. I love to play with my foster sister, but she has to set a few boundaries for me too, just like my foster Mom. She says beds and couches are for "people couch potatoes", not me. Bummer! But, I'm getting these rules pretty well. You might say I am quite smart and a fast learner after only a few days. One thing I don't know about is kids. I have a little trouble sharing toys and rawhide chews, but now that I am getting more comfortable, I am doing better. Maybe I should stick with bigger humans? And speaking of sticking around, I promise to be your best buddy if you take a chance on me. I like being right next to you. Oh, and a few intimate things you need to know are that I am housetrained, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative, and up to date on all of my vaccinations. So won't you let me be a permanent fixture in your home? I'll be waiting for you. Love furever, Jackson
