I'm Jake, a young, high-energy dog with lots of love to give. My affectionate nature and goofy personality will win you over in no time. I'm a very curious dog and I love to explore, which seems to have gotten me in trouble before! so I'll definitely keep you on your toes! I'm still working on my social skills with other pups. I would do best in a home where I can be the center of attention and receive all the love that I deserve. If you're looking for a funny and curious companion, I'm the one for you! I'll need a patient owner who can teach me the ropes. Are you the one who can give me the loving home I need?
