Meet Jake, a 3-year-old Border Collie mix with a heart as big as his adventures! 🐾 This handsome boy is a friendly spirit waiting for someone to share his zest for life. At around 50 pounds, Jake is the perfect balance of energy and affection. Now, he might be a bit shy at first, but let me tell you, once he warms up, he turns into the most gentle and loving companion you can imagine. ❤️ Jake is not just a pretty face; this smart cookie knows several commands like “sit,” “shake,” and “go lay down.” 🧠 He enjoys long walks which he considers his love language – trust me, he’ll have you looking forward to those outings! 🌅 He’s already had some playful adventures with other dogs in his foster homes—you could say he’s a social butterfly! 🦋 Jake's playful nature shines when he’s with his medium-sized dog pals and, believe it or not, he respects the boundaries of kitty friends too! Meow! 😺 Jake's ideal forever home would feature a playful dog buddy and possibly a cat friend. A fenced yard is a must because this active guy loves to run and explore! While he appreciates the thrill of the chase – thanks to his herding instincts – young children may not be the best match for our gentle giant. If you’re seeking a loyal sidekick who’ll join you on all of life’s amazing adventures and then curl up by your side as the sun sets, Jake might just be the loving companion you’ve been waiting for! 🌟 Remember, he’s participating in the Black Dog Friday promotion, so adopt him in December for a chance at a FREE etiquette class in January! So much joy and cuddles await! *Apply to meet this fabulous friend through the Buddy App!*
