Jackson is a young pit bull terrier, approximately a year old. Found wandering the Walmart parking lot, he was taken to Aberdeen Animal Control, where he remained until finally settling in at PAWS.

Jackson is friendly with the staff and loves to play. He has a very upbeat personality. He knows a few commands, but has not yet learned to chew his food. He’ll need someone to regulate his food intake, as he’s a gulper.

Jackson is available for adoption through PAWS of Grays Harbor, 800 W. First St., Aberdeen. They are open Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can also visit PAWS online at www.pawsgh.org, find them on Facebook or call 360-533-1141. Adopters who are 55 and older receive a 20 percent discount on adoption fees.
