I had a pretty rough start to life but I haven’t let that get in my way of living a happy life. I was born in a shelter and haven’t yet had the chance to live in a real home. Because of that, patient adopters who understand that I’m still learning and are excited to help me grow are very important to me... Could you help me become the best version of myself? <br/><br/>I’m a fun, higher-energy guy who loves to stay busy! Toys are one of my absolute favorite things, and I’m especially good at tossing them around and entertaining myself. I also really enjoy being around other dogs and would love opportunities to keep building my social skills with canine friends. With that in mind, I would prefer to meet any new doggie friends before going home, just to be sure we will make the best of friends!<br/><br/>While I’ve been at Wayside, I’ve made huge strides thanks to a training program called Peace Academy, which helps dogs learn how to manage their energy. I’ve gained lots of great skills and continue to improve every day! I’m very food-motivated, which makes training fun and rewarding for both of us. I cannot wait to show you all of the great commands and skills that I’ve learned! <br/><br/>When I do get nervous, I look to my people for reassurance. Once I trust you, you’re my safe place. After I’ve had my exercise and playtime, I’m happy to settle down with a good chew and lean in for the occasional pet. I enjoy affection, but I don’t need constant attention and am comfortable doing my own thing once I’m relaxed. As long as I know your near, that’s all I need to feel safe. <br/><br/>I’d do best with an active adopter who’s ready for an energetic boy and understands that learning is a journey. So, if you’re looking for a loyal, fun-loving companion and want to be part of my next chapter, I can’t wait to meet you! <br/><br/>Love, Jake
