Birthday: January 1st 2003 Arrival Story: I GOT ADOPTED!! WISH ME LUCK IN MY NEW FOREVER HOME!! Bio: Jake is a 5 year old Auss Shep/Beagle mix. He lived with his 72 year old human companion until Oct 2006 when his best friend passed away from Cancer. Jake went everywhere with his friend. Never missed an opportunity to ride in the car where he would wait patiently for his friend to do errands and return for their ride home. When his best friend passed, Jake was flown from Pennsylvania to the the Chicago area to live with his friend's nieces and their 4 dogs. Jake has tried desperately to fit in, but just can't seem to accept that he is not the only dog and can get a little aggressive towards the others. His current owners have made a very difficult decision to give Jake up to a home where he can be the only dog and get the love and companionship that he was once used to. Jake loves people and is good with cats. He knows his commands and loves to play fetch. He takes treats very nicely, is completely vetted, neutered, house trained, does not need a crate, and he doesn't go on furniture. His stunning looks are easily overshadowed by his loving personality. Jake has never lived with children so we don't know how he is with them,especially with smaller children. Older children would not even be an issue. Jake would even be a great dog for someone older looking for companionship..... I've Been On Dogster Since:
