About Jake

Meet Jake, a charming three-year-old male Hound and Australian Cattle Dog mix. He arrived at the Humane Society on October 14, 2024, after being found in Belpre, Ohio. Despite being on his own, he has developed a sweet and playful personality. Jake sports a shiny black-and-tan coat, accented with striking blue ticking on his chest. His long tail and expressive dark brown eyes give him a handsome appearance, while his large floppy ears frame his face perfectly. Jake weighs about 42 lbs and has made quite the impression during his time at the shelter, transforming his stainless steel bowl into an imaginary ice hockey puck! He can entertain himself for hours with it. This little firecracker is good with his adult friends but isn't compatible with cats or young children and is selective about the dogs he befriends. Although he may be a bit shy in the shelter environment, he showcases a different side once he's outside, enjoying walks and splashing in puddles. Jake longs for a special person who can provide him with the love and companionship he craves. Don't miss the chance to bring home this energetic boy! Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
