Breed: Labrador mix?

Sex: Male

Age: 6 years approx

Size: Large (55-60 lbs)

Color: Black and tan

Coat: Smooth

Vaccinated: Yes

Notes: Jackson is a handsome friendly boy who has led a sad isolated life tied to a tree for all of his six years. He is very independent-minded when he walks and needs to learn more leash manners, but he is smart and with frequent walks should pick it up. He weighs 55-60 pounds which is a good weight for him. Jackson has had very little attention from people in his life and, although he is friendly with no aggression issues, he would love to live the rest of his life with a family who will give him lots of love, belly rubs and walks in the woods with a big fenced yard and a couple kids to play with.
