My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Jackson, a long term resident dreaming of a family. He has been waiting far too long for someone to take him home. We're so sad that he has spent so long in a cage and we NEED to find him his happy ending. Jackson was born on 12/30/21 and is a Pit Bull mix. He was adopted into a home with another dog (after a successful meet and greet) but unfortunately had trouble sharing. He is not aggressive with other dogs but we believe his ideal home would not have other animals. We want to set him up for success! He's a big guy that needs a home with plenty of space to stretch his legs and play. He does well on a leash and likes going for walks. He's also VERY happy cuddling on the couch binging your favorite shows with you. He is smart and is eager to learn and explore.  He is up to date on vaccinations and has been neutered.
