JACKSON

This handsome Belgian Malinois mix is Jackson! He arrived at the shelter as a lost boy on 2/11, and sadly, no one has come to reclaim him. Jackson is keeping his paws crossed for a new forever home where he will be loved and kept safe so that he never ends up back in the shelter. The volunteers describe Jackson as friendly and easygoing. He is a smart cookie too and already knows several commands including sit, stay, and down. Belgian Malinois are a working breed of dog and he'll need proper physical and mental stimulation. Please ensure you have the time and energy to commit to Jackson before adopting. Jackson is approximately 2 years old and weighs 53 lbs. He is UTD on vaccines and will be neutered and microchipped upon adoption. Unfortunately, Jackson tested positive for heartworms, but with proper treatment and care, he can go on to live a long and healthy life. Please speak with shelter staff about the option of fostering to adopt while he receives treatment. Jackson is waiting patiently in run 835; his ID # is 8066.
