I adopted jake about 9 years ago, when I got him he was about a year old. He has been the most loyal dog in the 9 years I’ve had him. He’s quirky, has a great personality and is focused &; behaved when asked / in public. He is 75lbs, a little over weight as he has had issues with a torn acl that rarely gets reinjured. Jake spends 8 hours a day inside uncrated while I’m at work, he does not chew things only issue when left alone is getting snacks off the counter (unfortunately, he can reach!) He rides well in the car, he is very good on & off leash. If cats are around he will chase them. He is protective over his owner but not aggressive, he is very sweet and easy to meet and win over. Looking for a home to live out his senior years with room to roam & relax. This dog will love beyond belief while not asking for much at all. I’m 23, he’s moved with me 3 times now I wish I could make it work for the both of us. Only rehoming to get us both into stable homes. ❤️
