Jackson will remain in the Recovery Room until cleared for adoption.
Jackson arrived with hind end lameness. He is clearly uncomfortable when he walks and avoids stairs. Jackson has seen the neurologist and next will have an orthopedic evaluation. He is currently on "bed rest "/ minimal activity and pain medications. He is a sweet boy and adjusting well to his new experiences in foster care. He is on throid medication and drops dry eye.
Jackson’s prior owner says that he is a good boy! He is not a fan of small kids; he would do fine with older kids who know how to give him some space. He knows many tricks and is food motivated. He can do 360, Sit, Stay, Speak, Lay Down, Roll Over, Shake. He enjoys going outside, going on walks, playing tug with his rope, and fetching. He is best on a gentle lead leash - if he is on a regular leash he can lunge at other dogs on the trail (bark, not bite).
Stay tuned for more on Jackson after we get him fully evaluated.
