Jake Australian Shepherd Mix Lenoir, NC

Jake, and brother Joey, were born at the owner's home when she rescued their stray mama.

With a guesstimated birthday in Oct. 2022, Jake weighed 26 lb at his vet visit on Feb. 10, 2024.

Jake is learning to ride in a car and uses good house manners when kept on a regular schedule. He's comfy in a 36" crate and keeps it clean all night. He gets along with the other dogs in his foster pack and generally ignores the cats. He is leash savvy and enjoys going for sniff walks with his foster mom.

Jake doesn't like to be left in his crate when someone is in the house. You'll hear him protest because he wants to be with his people. He's very affectionate and will climb a 3 foot gate to get to his foster mom when she's working in another room.


**********

Whether dogs / puppies come in as strays or owner surrenders, we make our best guess as to birthdate and breed.

For adult dogs, our adoption fee covers a standard canine vaccine, a rabies vaccine, and deworming if recommended by our vet. Adult dogs will also have current heartworm test. For puppies over the age of 14 weeks, our adoption fee covers the first 3 puppy vaccines. If the puppy is still in our care at 16 weeks, we will also provide the rabies vaccine.

A vet reference is required only if you are adopting an intact dog over 6 months of age (or the age our attending veterinarian recommends for spay/neuter) to ensure future altering of the dog. A refundable spay/neuter deposit is required for intact dogs/puppies.
