Jake means a lot to the staff. When he arrived, he was in rough shape—too thin, with sores from confinement and more anxious energy than was good for him. Over months, he’s shown real resilience. These days, Jake spends time with a playgroup and gives into the luxury of just stretching out and snoozing. Seeing him become calmer and learn to trust has been rewarding. He still loves food, which isn’t surprising for a dog who had to go hungry before. Jake is deeply loyal, loves affection, and is known for his devoted nature. He’s currently being treated for heartworms, and he’ll need an owner willing to make sure he gets the care and attention he deserves from here on out. Jake gets along well with other dogs and with kids. He’s ready to find a home where he’ll never be neglected again. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
