• “I’m Jackson! I love my parents and especially love my Dad, Dan! He rescued me when I was a puppy and we’ve been best buds ever since. Mom came around shortly after, and she’s alright. She runs with me on the trail which IS SO FUN but my favorite way to play is wrestling Dad and playing tug-a-war with toys. I like to show everyone how tough I am. Try to take my toys, and I bet you can’t!!“

• “Hi! My name is Jackson! I live with my pawrents in Las Vegas, Nevada! My mommy says that I am part “beagle”, but I think I’m just 100% a good boy! My favorite things are my Woodstock plushie, sardines, and burrowing under blankets. My mommy, daddy, and I spend time together by going on walks, snuggling on the couch, and playing catch. When my mommy and daddy aren’t home, I go to work. I have a very important job as Director of Security for our house. I protect our home from the neighbors and the Amazon delivery man while mommy and daddy are away. It’s a hard job, but I know my pawrents appreciate how I keep them safe! Before mommy rescued me, I used to live all by myself outside. It was so scary because I had to protect myself from cars, people, and other dogs. I still get a little nervous around other dogs, but mommy and I are working hard to improve my social skills. My mommy said some nice people were going to let us use their space outside for playtime. Thank you, humans, for giving me a chance to run and play!“

  — Emma M.

I was a rescue from Jackson, MS. - that’s where I got my name from and parents kept it ever since! I have a cat sister, Evie. She is the princess of the household. Evie cleans my ears every night! My friends are Pickle, the black lab and Benny, the cavapoo. We can’t wait to roam and run in your spot 🐶🥰“

  — Melissa D.

  — Kailey P.
