About Jake

Jake is a lively pup looking for his forever home. At just over a year old, he brings a youthful energy that shines brightly. Originally rescued from a neglectful situation in Sumner, Iowa, he has faced some ups and downs but is ready for a fresh start. Jake is a playful mix of Pit Bull Terrier and Australian Shepherd, with a beautiful brown coat. Currently in a loving foster home, he gets along well with dogs, cats, and kids. He enjoys cuddling up on the couch and playing fetch. While he’s crate trained and sleeps soundly at night, sudden loud noises can trigger his anxiety, so a calm home environment is ideal for him.

All he needs is a patient, understanding family to help him continue building trust. Adoption fee is $75. Don't miss out on the chance to add this sweet boy to your home!
