Get a load the this sweet tripawd grin! Jackson is a 2yr old Chihuahua + terrier mix and this is what Every Pet’s Dream in Santa Clara, CA has to say about him:
Meet Jackson, the most adorable tripod you'll ever see! When he first arrived, he was in a lot of pain, poor thing. Our wonderful vet did everything they could to help him, but unfortunately, they had to remove his leg. But you know what? Jackson doesn't let that stop him! He's still as sweet, loyal, and loving as ever, and he's pain-free now, which is all that matters. He's looking for a new home where he can continue to be his amazing self.
While he's been with us, Jackson has been learning to make friends. Jackson would love his own person. He's such a cuddly little guy, and he loves the simple things in life, like belly rubs and ear scratches. And have you seen those eyes and that cute little underbite of his? Adorable! Plus, he's already crate- and potty-trained, so he's the perfect companion. So if you're looking for a new best friend, Jackson might be your guy!
To meet or adopt Jackson please complete our online application.
We will have everything we need to know to call you back and set up an appointment.

Psst! - If Jackson’s been taken or isn’t right for you, perhaps consider fellow Californian tripawds Alfie, Paul, Romeo, Tito, Sweet Stuff, Sammy, PJ, Orli, Dolly, Augustus, Romeo, Mr. Thad, Ronnie, Jason, Lulu, Ollie, Frank Hardy, Pops, Gage, Waldorf, Zelda, Mingo, Petey, Pluto, Triton, Chanel, Fiona, Rebeca, Rigby, Clover, Scuba, Tiny Boy, and Grizzly!
There are also some amazing CA trikitties too: Tripod, Dewey, Ted Lasso, Corrine, Ella, Cheddar, Tripawd Bean, and Skippy!

If these tripawds aren’t near enough or the right fit for you, perhaps share them with someone who is?

Note: With any tripawd, it’s good to ask about the reason for the amputation if it’s unlisted, just to get a clearer picture of the pet’s health and history. “Unknown” isn’t a dealbreaker, but more info can help you as a pet parent make a more informed decision!

All - I’m biased, but I love me an extra-medium pup like Jackson! Some hooman’s going to be very lucky to go on hikes with this fellow, and he’d fit well in a doggo backpack for those needed tripawd breaks!
And if he’s not the right fit for you, check out some of his neighbor Californian tripawd pups and kitties listed above! 💥
