Jake

My story

Pet Location: Wayside’s Canine Behavior Center – I`d love to show off all the cool things I’ve learned at Wayside! Please arrive at the shelter before 4pm on our open adoption days to meet me.My Friends at Wayside say:- I am enrolled in Peace Academy. This is a program for dogs to learn advanced skills to manage their energy. My adoption comes with a free 30-minute private training session. - I`m a lovable, goofy boy who loves all kinds of toys! - During my time at Wayside, I’ve enjoyed being around other dogs. - I was born in a shelter, and I had not lived in a home prior to my time in foster, so I will need patient adopters who are prepared to help me continue to learn about life in a home. - I had experience with crate training in my foster home, and I know how to use a dog door.- I am eligible for a Slumber Pawty, a 7-10 day in-home trial period. Please visit our website for additional information. My home needs are:- I must meet other dogs in the home before adoption to ensure that we can be buddies. - It is recommended that I go to a home with another playful, friendly dog.- I need a home with kids 6 years old and older who will enjoy my enthusiasm for life.- I must meet kids in the home ages 6-9 years old to make sure they will enjoy my zest for life! - A fenced yard is a must for me! I need a secure area to run around and release my energy. - I need an active adopter. For my safety, I need to go home on an anti-slip collar called a martingale collar. For your convenience, we sell them in our retail store, Whiskers and Wags.Check out my super cool new video! Scroll through my photos to watch it. Hi there, I’m Jake! Sometimes all you need in life is for someone to believe in you. Sometimes you just need your one little chance to shine for everything to fall into place. That’s what happened to me! I was given the gift of a foster home, and suddenly I was able to show everyone what an amazing dog I am. Quite simply, I’m just a really good boy. The best boy! I’m gentle, sweet, and affectionate, yet independent enough to not be clingy or needy. And I’m playful and silly and so much fun. I’m always ready for whatever adventures await, but I’m perfectly content to be a homebody as well. All I truly want in life is your attention and for you to spend time with me. That’s what makes me happy. I hope maybe I can make you happy too. I would love the chance to be your dog.
