Arrival Story:
Jake's former owners decided they didn't want him anymore so instead of bring him to a rescue, they contacted a rescue and said that they saw an abandoned dachshund in an alleyway. Then they dumped him in the alley. The rescue lady called Mom's best friend because she had dachshunds too. Per Jake:I met my forever Mom that day, I was 3.5 years old, frightened, timid, dirty, and food aggressive. My collar was tight and my nails were long. I did not know what toys were and was afraid of walking on grass. Weeks later my old mommy / family changed their minds and wanted me back but it was too late. I hit the jack pot with the new mommy. Did I mention that my first family named me Killer? I really don't know why. My new mommy named me Joliet Jake because I had street smarts.
