Jackson - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Bellingham, Washington

Hi, my name is Jackson! I'm a GREEN pawprint, which means I will fit well into most homes. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Spunky, friendly, super affectionate!

-Can Live with Kids: Unknown history. Jackson may not appreciate super young kiddos, especially as he continues to age, but may do okay with very gentle, calm, respectful, dog-savvy older kids, pending an introduction at the shelter to make sure everyone gets along. At this time we are recommending ages 12+.

-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history, will need slow, supervised intro.

-Can Live with Dogs: Yes, another well-matched dog of similar size and energy level would be fine! Intros done at WHS

-Can do Apartment Living: Yes

-Potty Trained: Jackson used potty pads consistently in his previous home, and with a predictable routine should be able to pick up on outside potty habits if you'd prefer not to continue with potty pads.

-Bite History: No

-Positive Reward Based Obedience Classes Required: No

-Energy Level: Medium

-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a dental and a microchip (provided by WHS prior to adoption)

Additional Information: Jackson is the sweetest, peppiest little guy who's ready to romp right into your life! Don't let his age fool you- this sprightly guy has tons of pep in his step and doesn't show any signs of slowing down anytime soon. He does not have any known behavioral concerns and would likely do well in most home environments.
