Jackson Pollock may not be painting masterpieces, but he’s certainly creating one with his journey here! This handsome boy can be a little nervous in the shelter environment and tends to be cautious around new people—but don’t let that fool you. Once he knows you, Jackson is incredibly loyal, loving, and full of playful energy.

He’s been making great progress every day, slowly building trust and showing more of his goofy, affectionate personality. Jackson loves to play and is always up for some fun—especially if treats are involved (they’re definitely the way to his heart!).

With a little patience and a lot of snacks, Jackson Pollock is sure to become someone's most devoted companion. If you believe in giving a shy dog the chance to shine, Jackson is ready to meet his person.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
