Jackson is a stunning 2-year-old Shepherd mix with a golden tan coat and soulful greenish eyes that tell a story of longing. He arrived as a stray on April 19, 2025, and while we don’t know what he’s been through, his shy and sensitive demeanor suggests a difficult past. At the moment, Jackson is underweight and clearly unsettled by the busy shelter and loud street noises—but beneath his uncertainty is a heart full of love and a gentle spirit just waiting to bloom.
Despite his nerves, Jackson walks well on a leash and is beginning to show his affectionate, puppy-like side once he feels safe. He hasn’t shown any reactivity toward other dogs and may have arrived with two canine companions. With a calm, patient home and a loving forever family, Jackson is sure to gain confidence and truly shine. This sweet boy doesn’t just need a home—he needs a place where he can finally feel secure, cared for, and cherished.
🏡 Come meet Jackson and be the one who helps him heal and thrive. He’s ready to leave fear behind and step into a life filled with love.
