Abbie and I went by and met Jackson yesterday afternoon. He's a big 8+ year old boy weighing in I'm sure over 150 lbs. He needs to be put on a diet immediately.He also has several large fatty?? tumors and a large mass on the inside of his thigh. I feel that these will make it very unlikely he'll get adopted from the shelter. So he's looking at a pretty quick date to be put to sleep.
This dog is neutered, housebroken, walks fairly well on a leash, sits and shakes. He is good with other dogs, ignores cats (from walking him though the cat room) and is very good around kids, there was a dad and two kids that met him yesterday while we had him out but the son was afraid of him.
Apparently a couple relinquished him and the woman seemed to be the person who made the decision, putting him into a run and not even saying a word to him, turned and just left.
I would love to see Jackson get a home. I'd be willing to work up a raffle idea to help with his vet care that is needed as well. I know they can't all be saved, but this guy deserves to at least not end his in a shelter. If anything I'd be willing to be with him when he's euthanized.
I could foster him for a very limited time and get his vet care completed that comes with his adoption from the shelter. If there is a rescue within say a four hour drive I'd be willing to transport him to you. I work an early shift and have most afternoons pretty free. Feel free to contact me directly for more information on Jackson.
