About Jake

Jake spent a month surviving in the woods with his sister, but even after all that, he comes across as nothing but loving. At 11 months old, this golden, short-haired pit bull terrier mix is ready to leave the rough start behind and settle into a home with soft beds, toys, and people who care. Jake is fully vetted—he’s neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, parasite free, and on heartworm prevention. He’s house trained and crate trained as well, making him a practical addition to any house. Jake gets along with both dogs and cats. There’s a sweetness and gentleness to him—a little reserved, thoughtful, with soulful eyes that tell his story and invite trust. These days, the simple comforts matter to him most: a cozy spot, companionship, and a sense of safety. He doesn’t need much, just someone steady who won’t give up on him. A one-week trial is offered so you can be sure it’s the right match—for you and for Jake. Jake’s sun sign is Cancer, so loyalty and affection run deep. His resilience shows, but it’s time for someone to show him how good life can be. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
