Jackson is a sweet, 9.5-month-old, 15 lb girl with a gentle, affectionate, and loyal personality. She thrives on companionship and wants nothing more than to be close to her person - she’s a true “ride or die” who finds comfort just by your side. Jackson's biggest challenge has been separation anxiety and learning to build confidence around new dogs, humans and with life in general. She has been working with her foster on separation anxiety, slow, proper introductions and crate training, but she is fully potty trained and eager to learn.
She enjoys gentle affection once trust is established and will nudge or paw for attention, but she prefers to warm up to new people at her own pace. Jackson can be nervous around loud noises, busy streets, and unfamiliar situations, and she benefits from a calm, patient household where she can build confidence gradually. She walks politely on leash, though squirrels are her ultimate nemesis, and she does best in quieter, less populated areas. Jackson has shown herself to be a polite, curious, and playful companion with other dogs, enjoying gentle introductions and forming bonds at her own pace. She would thrive in a home with someone who is home most of the time or can take her along, ideally with a confident dog sibling or as an only dog where she can soak up love and attention. With patience, gentle encouragement, and consistent support, Jackson’s sweet, loyal, and loving personality truly shines, making her an incredibly devoted and rewarding companion.
