Jackson was up for adoption on petfinders (see description below).

I need to find a new home for my 18 month old dog Jackson. My lifestyle has changed drastically since I first adopted him and I no longer have the time to take care of him properly. I have attached pictures but don't let them fool you. He's not dignified and reserved. He's a happy, goofy, silly boy.
1. He is a hound mix. The best guesses I've gotten are Lab, Chow and Greyhound. He weighs about 45 lbs very lean and got a clean bill of health at his last vet's check up in July 2005.
2. He is neutered and his vaccinations were all updated in July 2005. I also have a 6 month supply of flea/heartworm medication for him.
3. He has a happy, affectionate and friendly temperament. He is very friendly with people and is the first one to welcome you at the door. He is a little shy with dogs at first but quickly warms up to them.
4. He knows 'sit', 'come', 'lay down', 'on your bed', 'drop it' and 'give me your paw' commands.
5. His favorite things to do are run (I think he's part greyhound) and snuggle. He's got a very cute habit of sneaking into bed with me in the middle of the night.
6. He is fully housebroken. The last time he had an accident was November 2004.
7. He walks well on a leash.
8. He has not been exposed to kids so he can be very shy around them.
9. Very loud noises outdoors (like trucks or sirens) scare him.
Please help me find a good home for him. He deserves more time, love and attention than I can give him. I am able to take care of him until a new home is found.

Jackson stayed with us for 3 weeks. His owner reconsidered his decision and Jackson is back home again.
