Jackson came to MNSR with an untreated leg injury so severe that his leg could not be saved. It seemed Jackson had not been treated kindly by someone in his past. In spite of this, Jackson clearly wanted to bond with someone, and he quickly learned to navigate on three legs. He found the most loving family who adored him. They helped him to trust that people would only be gentle with him from then on. Jackson became a wonderful big brother to two rescue Sheltie girls later in life, and he relished his role. Jackson crossed the Rainbow Bridge in April, 2017, reuniting with his dad who loved him so.
