About Jake

  • Status: Adopted!
  • Species: Dog
  • General Color: Sable
  • Housetrained: Yes
Jake is a one-year-old neutered male Collie with a little dab of something extra. Perhaps he has a hint of border collie in his background that would account for his alert attitude and trainability. At 38#, he is light on his feet and moves quickly to explore the nooks and crannies of the yard. He runs like the wind and turns on a dime and would excel in agility and obedience. Considering how well-adjusted Jake is, it would be a shame for him to simply hang out in a backyard. When you see him smile, he lights up a whole room. Children delight him. Other dogs delight him. Commercials on TV make him smile. As his foster dad would say, "He is a peach of a pooch!" We have run baseline bloodwork to check out his general health and it is A-okay. He is heartworm negative, has all his vaccines and is microchipped. He is 99% housebroken, knows some basic commands and would fit into nearly any household. We want Jake to have the benefit of a younger family since he is just a puppy himself and wants to grow along withe human members of a pack. So, let's look for a couple of kids and a pooch or two and someone home enough of the time to do some training and throw a ball. Please begin the process for adoption by going to our website at www.colliesheltierescue.org, reading our Policies and Guidelines and, if we sound like the right group for you, proceed to the online Adoption Application. From there, our receipt of your completed application will be confirmed by email. You then will receive a follow-up phone call if we feel you are a good potential applicant for the dog. A good conversation with the foster family, a reference from your veterinarian, and a home visit round out our screening process. We take dog adoption very seriously. Please put a lot of thought into why you want to adopt a dog, and help us make a good match for your family. We appreciate your taking the time to visit with us. We will look forward to hearing from you as well.
