✨ Meet the incredible Jake, a loving 2-year-old lab who is ready to find his forever home! This big-hearted goofball, weighing between 45-50 pounds, has had a rocky start in life, but let me tell you, he’s not letting his past define him. After being rescued from a heartbreaking situation where he suffered from a badly embedded collar and was confined to a crate 24/7, Jake is now blooming thanks to the dedication of caring trainers. 🌼 With his neck fully healed, Jake is learning to trust again and is eager to find that special human who understands that love takes time. He’s filled with enthusiasm, and is low to moderate energy—a delightful rarity for a lab! Once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll be greeted with wagging tails and playful antics that would melt any heart! ❤️ Jake is curious about everything you do—he’s the kind of companion who wants to be at your side, sharing in all your adventures. Whether he's engaging in a lively game of hide and seek (and trust me, he’s a champion at that! 😉), or enjoying a nice belly rub, Jake radiates joy. Not to mention, he’s a star on car rides, sitting calmly and enjoying the breeze. Now, Jake has a few needs. He thrives in a home without children, where he can gradually build up his confidence. Slow introductions to new environments and people are key, and he is sure to show you his loving nature in no time. He absolutely adores playing with balls, and if you give him the chance, he’ll amaze you with his playful spirit! 🎾 Jake is also crate trained and house trained, and while he knows how to be left out responsibly, he’s a hard chewer who takes his toys seriously. He’s up to date on all his shots and is on monthly heartworm, flea, and tick medications, ensuring he is the healthiest possible companion. So, let’s make magic happen together! If you have the patience and love to help Jake navigate the world with confidence, he will reward you with endless affection and loyalty. 🌟 Don’t wait too long; apply to adopt Jake through the Buddy App and give this amazing pup the loving home he deserves!
