Jake's Story

Jake is a 2 year old yellow lab mix. He cannot wait to meet his furever family.<br/><br/>Jake was on "the list" at a shelter and we got him out just in time. His crime? Being terrified of strangers. Living in a shelter is the very worst place for this, because no one you meet is a prior friend. So he would bark at them and growl, and they labeled him as unfriendly.<br/><br/>However, when you become Jake's person, he is one of the best dogs. He is crate trained, house trained, is extremely sweet, and LOVES to play. He knows how to sit, walk on a leash, and will wait for you to invite him before he goes through a door. He is an extremely polite gentleman. And he loves to kiss your hands to remind you how much he appreciates you. He likes to zoomie in the yard and go on walks with his people. He is not scared if his people are with him. <br/><br/>To get there, you have to go slowly with him for a day or two in order to show him you are his friend and won't hurt him. He responds well to treats, and we are actively working on him to open him up to strangers and new experiences. He is getting better by the day. He seems to be much less scared of women than men.<br/><br/>Jake's perfect house has at least one woman, no young children, a brave dog that can teach him, and he is good with cats. He seems to love other dogs and can be dog tested with potential siblings to make sure it is a good fit. Ideally, he would have a yard with grass because he still has some puppy energy. Most importantly, his perfect house will have a lot of patience to help him trust the world again. But it will be 100% worth it for the right person, because he would do anything for his person.<br/><br/>Jake's adoption application is at www.mysaltydog.com. He is located in Brevard County, FL.
