Jake's Story

Meet Jake: The Joyful Goofball<br/>The Basics:<br/>Age: 4 years young<br/>Breed: Loyal Lab Mix<br/>Status: House-trained, gentle soul, ready for adventure.<br/>A Heart Full of Wiggles:<br/>To meet Jake is to be greeted by a wave of pure, happy energy. This sweet-natured boy has a heart of gold, wrapped up in a charmingly goofy personality. He communicates with playful invitations, soulful, affectionate eyes that seem to understand every word, and hilarious bursts of “shoe stealing” goofiness. Jake isn't just friendly; he has a genuine sense of humor and will invent silly antics just to hear you laugh, beaming with pride at his accomplishment. Although he may grab your shoes or clothes to catch your attention, he just wants to spend time with his family. <br/>A day in the life: <br/>Jake is perfectly content with laying around the house, going on a walk around the neighborhood or cuddling up from some extra attention. He’ll gladly engage in a match of tug of war and take on the challenge of a dog toy. His easygoing nature also makes him a fantastic travel companion, always up for a car ride or a new sight to sniff.<br/>Dream Home:<br/>Jake is a social butterfly who thrives on love and activity. A busy, loving home is his sweet spot. He would be absolutely overjoyed to have children to play with, and there is nothing he would love more than a similar sized canine companion to share his life, toys, and cozy naps with. <br/>Jake is an awesome dog and is searching for a family to become his loyal companions. He promises to repay your love with unwavering loyalty, constant companionship, and a daily dose of laughter and joy. <br/><br/>Are you the loving, active family Jake has been waiting for?<br/><br/>If you are interested in this dog The first step is to go to our website and fill out an application. https://placingpawsrescue.org/applications/dog-application/<br/><br/>ADOPTION FEE: $400.00 The adoption fee includes all age appropriate vaccinations including rabies, HW test if age appropriate, de-worming, microchip, fecal, spay or neuter, Heartworm and flea and tick preventative. ADOPTION PROCESS: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an application online at www.placingpawsrescue.org. Once we review the applications, those applicants that are thought to be a good match will be contacted as quickly as possible. We ask that you please be patient with us as we are all volunteers. Then a telephone interview will take place, references checked and a home visit will be conducted. We will then arrange for you to meet the dog. We require that all family members, including current dogs meet the dog prior to adoption. We put all of the known information in the animals description. If the animal is listed on the website, we are still accepting applications for that animal. We only remove the animal when the final adoption paperwork is signed. The best way to contact us is by email at placingpaws@yahoo.com. It is very difficult for the limited numbers of volunteers to return all calls. Thank you.
