DOGS DESCRIPTION

Hi Im Jackson! Ive been here a LONG time and I am so ready to meet my special family. I am your typical herding breed dog - highly intelligent, energetic, sensitive, and deeply loyal. These traits come with great advantages, but also can present some challenges. I take a bit of time to warm up to new people and trust them. I need predictability and a very stable schedule every day. For that reason, I am NOT the best fit for someone looking for an extroverted dog to take everywhere with them (no dog parks for me, thank you). I am the PERFECT dog for someone who wants a more introverted dog. If you want a loyal buddy to be there, reliably, every day, to greet you at the door with a tail wag, Im your guy. Im energetic, and like to play with some other dogs, if I am introduced properly, but I prefer to be your one and only at home. And in truth, I much prefer a human "pack" to any canine pack.

Jackson is in search of a loving stable home, and must go to a home experienced with herding/working breeds and with someone who is committed to continue his training. Please consider giving Jackson a loving home. 

Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family. 

AAdoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery, rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, K-9 Lifesavers spend significantly more on each dog than their adoption fee. Adoption fee for HW positive dogs also covers heartworm treatment at our partner vets.
