And speaking of fun, he’s a total pro on the leash, making every outing a joy!

Jake adores other dogs and has a soft spot for teddies, balls, and anything plushy he can cuddle or snack on! 🎾 After overcoming a challenging start as a stray, he was rescued just in time from a shelter's kill list. Isn’t that a story to make your heart swell? 🥺 However, due to some past trauma, Jake can feel anxious and isn’t a fan of being crated or kenneled. But don’t worry! He absolutely shines when surrounded by both human and canine friends. He recently spent some time in doggy daycare and, guess what? No anxiety there! 🌈 So, this lovable pup would thrive in a caring home with at least one other friendly dog by his side; that furry companionship ignites his confidence and joy! Now, while loud noises and car rides aren’t his jam, a simple puppy cup or a scoop of doggie ice cream can turn his frown upside down! 🍦 Plus, he’s a superstar at the vet, having even scored a Best Patient Award for his gentle demeanor. When Jake wants something, he’s more of a communicator than a barker. He might bring you his bowl or spin around happily, showcasing his sweet and playful personality. With every gentle pet, Jake offers an abundance of gratitude. He lives for soft touches, cozy naps, and just being close to his humans. If you’re on the hunt for a loyal, goofy, and loving companion ready for long walks, heartfelt cuddles, and thrilling adventures, Jake is the pup for you! 🐾 Click to *apply through the Buddy App* to bring this charming companion into your life, and don’t forget he needs a canine friend to share his journey with!
