A sweet boy looking to "steal someone's heart" is still searching for his forever home. 

Jackson is a Lhaso Apso currently being cared for by the team at Blue Cross Suffolk Rehoming Centre in Wherstead, on the outskirts of Ipswich. 

The 12-year-old dog has lived a sheltered life, missing out some of the comforts of pet dog life.

A spokeswoman for the charity said: "Luckily this does not seem to have affected Jackson's view of the world too much and he is taking the new opportunities in front of him with both paws.

"Jackson enjoys some quiet and gentle fuss; he likes to curl up and chill out after having a potter around the park.

"He can find being fussed too much quite overwhelming for him at times and while he is not the most energetic, he still enjoys taking in all the new smells when out and about."

The centre is looking for a quiet home for Jackson so he can continue to become familiar with living in a home environment. 

Jackson could live with families who have another calm dog and he could also live with older children following successful meets at the centre.
