Jake

From time to time, Jake has heard humans say "TGIF" and then he found out that meant "Thank goodness it's Friday." That didn't really mean much to Jake because when you are a dog who lives in a kennel, almost every day is just like any other day. Until now! Jake was invited to participate in The Total Dog's swim hydrotherapy session on Friday and he loved it!! Absolutely loved it!! As soon as the four paws hit the floor (or more accurately, hit the water), Jake was ready to go. Throw a tennis ball to the other end of the pool and he'd swim to get it. Throw a squeaky toy to the other end of the pool and he'd swim to get it. Back and forth for thirty minutes. When his session ended, he was so excited and so happy, ready to play with anyone who might come along.

We know you'd like to know more about Jake so here goes. His owner passed away a number of months ago and Jake moved in with his owner's son. Unfortunately for Jake, his new home had a dominant Pit Bull mix who did not to share the limelight (or even the house) with Jake and made living there a bad situation for all. For the sake of both dogs, Jake was relinquished to Rescue so we could find him a new forever home. Jake is fine with other dogs as long as they are not overly aggressive but does not do well with cats. Jake's owner put him through an obedience training class where he graduated with honors. Like most of us who pursue education, it's "use it or lose it" and while Jake hasn't lost his skills, he's a bit rusty But he's a very bright and loving boy so with some consistent leadership and a few obedience reminders, he'll be a great dog for his new family

Like most Shepherds, Jake is looking for a home where he will be part of the family. He loves car rides, hanging out with his family, and we know he also likes the water, so Dog Beach could be one of his favorite destinations.
