Pet of the Month

Yavapai Humane Society

Hi there, my name is Jackson! I’m a 4 year old Border Collie/Chow Chow mix looking for my forever home at Yavapai Humane Society. I enjoy exploring outside and have lived on a farm, so I know not to chase the chickens and other funny barnyard creatures! I’m also house trained, and already neutered, up to date on my vaccines, and I’m microchipped. I’m an independent fellow but like to relax with the calmer, soothing kind of humans. But really, I know you didn’t need to even read any of this because my soft brown eyes caught your attention right away, didn’t they? Well what are you waiting for?

Come visit me at the Adoptions Center
1625 Sundog Ranch Road, Prescott,
or call 928-445-2666 to learn more about me.
