PLEASE NOTE: Applicant[s] must have experience with abused animals.

Jake is a GSD/Yellow Lab mix and is approximately 2 years old. He is shown here with his foster Mom at an outside adoption event. Everyone was taking a break. This shows the love and devotion he is capable of. We all love our Jake but he needs his very own family --- they all do.

He is a kind and gentle pup, but he is extremely shy and timid. He will need to be placed with people who will be kind, gentle and patient with him. He needs someone special who can help him learn to trust. He's progressing well with our family. He will come up and lie his head in our laps and is very generous with his kisses! He'll lie on the floor with our kids and watch TV. He craves human contact.

He's getting along very well with our all his foster buddies. He's quite playful with them. He is beautiful when he runs. My daughter takes him for walks every night and certainly gets a workout. Also, he loves water! He made the decision on his first day with us that it's much quicker to go straight across our pool than it was to go around the pool. He's very trusting of children and just loves to play with them.

He's slowly gaining much-needed weight. He lines up to eat together with the other dogs and they go back and forth between each others' bowls. We're still trying to add even more meat to his bones (he loves oatmeal). He LOVES treats and know exactly where they are kept. He'll call you to come and give him one.

He's made great progress but needs someone who has had experience working with dogs who have been abused. It just take love and patience to gain his full trust, but once you've gained it, he'll smother you with affection! Jake should be with a family who has had experience with an abused dog and realizes the joy of watching an abused dog become a "normal" dog. It takes a lot of love, patience and time. This won't happen in a day or overnight. It is a wonderful gift to help an abused dog become the dog they were always meant to be.

He was brought in to the SPCA as a stray. He appears to be about a year and a half old. If you talk sweet Jake will come up to you and kiss you. He enjoys having you pet him and I know this dear pup will be a wonderful companion pet. He was on the road a long time before animal control gratefully captured him from starving to death as a stray. He deserves a loving family since he certainly did not get one the first time!

We have had him neutered and has given all his shots and tests and will be waiting patiently for the family who wants to give him all the love he has missed so far in life. He has a LOT of love to give.

Please help if you can by offering to foster him (application is required) or adopting him. To help him get placed --- we have waived our "standard" adoption donation to help him get home. As always, the rescue would require a donation -- so that we may continue our important work.

You can also help by sponsoring Jake.  Lost and Found Dog Rescue will providing care and a nurturing environment until we adopt each individual dog.  However, the same way it costs money to care for a sick dog, it also costs money to provide constant and continual care.  By sponsoring a dog, you can help to alleviate this cost and ensure the best care for a dog of your choice!  In addition, you are also helping to ensure that your specific dog founds the perfect forever home!  Sponsoring a dog may take the form as a weekly or monthly donation, or you can make a one-time donation.  It's your choice!
