About Jacob In Ny To

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Meet Jacob, who is ready to greet you in New York and steal your heart! This 5-year-old, medium-sized Collie/Shepherd mix weighs about 38 lbs (as of late April 2025) and has a stunning reddish long coat that never fails to turn heads. Jacob is a cuddle enthusiast with a playful side—he’s known to split his time between snuggling up with you and relaxing contentedly on top of his crate. Jacob adores attention and has a silly streak that will keep you smiling. He even has a soft spot for Puppacinos after a fun ride to the park! Currently living harmoniously with multiple dogs, Jacob does well with canine companions, especially after a proper introduction. Though he can be selective while on walks, once he bonds with another dog, they become best friends for life. Jacob once shared playful romps in the grass with his larger canine pal. He seeks a quiet environment away from city bustle, as storms can make him uneasy (herbal remedies and a thunder shirt can help). Jacob is fully house-trained and walks well on a leash, making the transition into home life a breeze. As a Scorpio, he’s loyal and affectionate with a hint of mystery—the perfect companion for anyone seeking a loving, devoted friend. They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now!
