Some people spend it all on lottery tickets, some people take their chances in Vegas, and some people visit the Animal Protection Society of Durham. With Jackpot, you’ll never feel unlucky again. This sweet and happy 1-year-old Lab mix who showed up as a stray is playful with dogs and humans, smart and eager to learn. She’s got a full agenda that includes play time, snuggle time, training time and confidence building. She’ll need someone who can keep up with her fast-paced lifestyle. Jackpot can be quite the busybody, but she’s got a sensitive side to her. She’s calm and eager to please, and doesn’t mind sitting and watching the cars go by. Jackpot would ideally join a home with kids ages 6 and older, as she may guard her food and is sensitive to some novel objects. She’d also do best in a home with a friendly sniffing partner. Visit Jackpot’s webpage to learn more and come visit her today!
