Jak is a 5-month-old Labrador Retriever mix whose adoption fee has been completely covered by a generous private donor. Out-of-state adoptions aren’t available to families in Massachusetts or Rhode Island due to local regulations. Jak is all about play and companionship. He thrives around children, happily joining backyard games, snuggling up for rest, or tossing around his favorite rope toy. He is gentle, patient, and clearly enjoys being around people as well as other dogs. Jak would make an easy addition to a family or anyone seeking a loyal, affectionate friend. He’s happiest in a setting with lots of activity and love—his ideal home would give him space to play and plenty of attention from his humans. Jak is currently being fostered in Mississippi, with transport coordinated to northern adopters after placement. The local rescue created this transport network to help dogs like Jak get a shot at adoption and a good life. If playful, loving, and loyal sounds like your kind of companion, Jak is ready to be your next best friend. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
