Jake

4yr old male wheaten terrier/red heeler mix

Jake is a great dog! He is energetic, loves chasing the ball, going for drives and walks, swimming, and being with you.
He’s not fixed yet
We love him but new life circumstances will not allow us to keep him and we need to find him a new home asap.
We don’t want to take him to the shelter since he’ll likely be euthanized.
