Jake Shepherd Studio City, CA

Jake is a 1-year old German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix that weighs about 65 lbs. Jake, his Mom and his siblings were abandoned in a cardboard box outside a dumpster. All were adopted except Jake.

He is an absolute sweetheart who loves to be petted, scratched and cuddled. His Foster Dad sometimes picks him up like a baby and Jake loves it. He will do anything for belly rubs, even from strangers. Jake is extremely intelligent and can easily pick up new commands and tricks. He is currently working on the “wait” command and gains more patience every day.

Jake is learning how to socialize with other dogs as he can be impatient and does not understand how to approach a new dog. He will get in the other dog’s face trying to play which can frighten or annoy the dog. Jake is not aggressive but overly zealous in his attempts to meet and play with others. He would be best suited in a home with a family that can be patient and will work with him. Jake loves human attention and praise, he wants to be loved.

Jake loves to play tug of war with humans and canine friends, he is very athletic and has plenty of energy. He can run fast so playing tag with him can be a challenge for the human(s). He is well trained on and off leash and he bonds quickly with people.

Jake is up-to-date on vaccines, neutered and microchipped. He has no medical issues and is in excellent health. Jake is best suited for an active family as he is a high energy dog. A family that goes on frequent hikes, runs or road trips would be perfect for him. He would do best in a home with another calm, patient dog that can be a playmate or a home where he is the only dog in the household.
