Meet Jacob, a sweet dog that has come so far since his arrival. He is a shy boy but gets better each day and is loving his walks on the trails. His gentle nature makes him a joy to be around, and his mellow temperament means he's just as happy by your side as he is playing in the yard. He is great with kids and enjoys the company of other dogs, making him perfect for a family or a single person. Once a bond is established, Jacob has lots of unconditional love to give a new family. At about 2 years old, Jacob is an Akita mix and weighs 58 pounds.You can apply on line at www.hsvawl.org by completing the Adoption Application on the home page.
