Today’s Pam’s Pal is Jackson, a happy, black Labrador retriever available at Animal Humane Society’s Golden Valley facility. He is one of 24 adult, black Labrador retrievers on AHS adoption floors. He’s been at the Golden Valley location since October 2008.
Jackson is an exceptional, fun-loving seven-year-old boy who is in need of an owner who is just as exceptional. Upon his arrival at AHS, it was discovered that he has skin allergies that will remain with him for the rest of his life. Adjustments in his diet and medication may help alleviate the effects of his condition.
Despite his allergies, Jackson is excited about finding a new home. He’s never one to turn away from a pat or scratch—or a snuggle session that leaves you covered in dog kisses. He knows basic commands and jumps at the opportunity to be around people. Although he’s considered a senior dog, he still has enough energy to play and be a great companion.
At his age, Jackson is set in his ways and content being the only pet in the house; therefore, he needs to go to a home without other pets.
If you’re not able to Jackson into your home, there are many other ways you can support the work of AHS. Seventy percent of their operating costs come from people like you. Whether you make a general donation, donate a vehicle, make a gift in honor of someone special, join their PAW program, or include AHS in your estate plan, your tax-deductible gift makes a difference in the lives of the nearly 40,000 animals they care for each year at their five shelters. Or you can donate your time.
Volunteers are the backbone of AHS. If you can spare a minimum of six hours per month, opportunities to assist staff in their exam, adoption, development and education areas are available. Foster volunteers are also needed to provide temporary homes to dogs and cats still nursing their babies or litters of kittens and puppies too young for adoption.
