Meet Jake, a charming young hound mix with a heart of gold, who has quite the incredible story! Picture this: Jake and his nine siblings found themselves abandoned on a lonely country road in Adair County, Kentucky, at just 13 weeks old. Can you imagine the fear they must have felt? Most of the little ones contracted parvo, and it was a tough fight for survival. Thanks to a dedicated team of expert vets and the miracle of monoclonal antibodies, Jake emerged as a parvo survivor, defying the odds! 🎉🐾 With a captivating mix of breeds in his DNA, including Treeing Walker Coonhound, Border Collie, Husky, and even Poodle, Jake is a delightful blend of traits! His unique fawn coat flecked with champagne, coupled with striking white paws, a tail tip, and a chest blaze, makes him one handsome dude! He may not be your typical hound; he’s got the energy of a puppy and the curiosity of a detective! 🕵️‍♂️✨ Jake's personality is a burst of sunshine! He’s friendly, playful, and food-motivated, making training a breeze. However, he’s still working on his confidence, especially when faced with the hustle and bustle of new places and people. Sometimes, he’s a bit overwhelmed and lets out an “alarm bark,” but every outing helps him grow bolder! While Jake’s playful energy draws kids in, he prefers older children aged eight and up. Little ones make him a bit nervous, which understandably causes him to bark. To create a safe transition, we’ll ensure a Home meet-and-greet! He gets along splendidly with dogs of all shapes and sizes, so if you have another furry friend, that will be just lovely! 💖🐕 Now, if you have a cat, here’s his playful side coming in! He shows a keen interest in them, but a slow, supervised introduction is key! At nearly ten months old and weighing around 38 pounds, Jake is up-to-date on vaccinations and ready for adventures! His mature weight is expected to be between 50-60 lbs, so a big backyard would be pure paradise for this energetic boy! 🌳🏃‍♂️ Jake is also housebroken with regular outside breaks and supervision, and he’s crate trained, snuggling up happily in his crate at night and while his foster mom works. With his love for walking, hiking, or simply running around, he’s the ideal companion for active families! Jake is looking for a family who’s ready to share laughter, joy, and plenty of love. If you’re ready to welcome this sweet, handsome boy into your home and change his life forever, don’t wait! *Apply through the Buddy App* and schedule your visit today!
