💔 Background
🐶 Jake belonged to an elderly owner who could no longer care for him and was admitted to hospital with terminal illness. He was becoming neglected, not out of cruelty, but because the situation had become unmanageable. Family members stepped and took him into their home — but they say they can’t provide him forever home and care. Multiple rescues were contacted. All were full.
He did not choose this. And he does not deserve it.
🐾 More About Jake
🐶 Jake is a gentle, sweet-natured boy who loves being close to people and prefers to sleep nearby, he doesn’t like crate. He is house-trained, knows his basic commands, and is polite on the lead, enjoying slow walks with plenty of sniffing. He is friendly with people and other dogs, and wonderfully tolerant and kind with children.
🐶 Jake lived with a cat who isn’t fond of him — but Jake simply tries to make friends and causes no trouble. He is social, affectionate, and still enjoys play, especially squeaky toys. Like many older dogs, he can be a little vocal when excited and may feel unsettled if left alone for too long, but he settles well with reassurance and routine.
🏡 Ideal Home
🐶 Jake needs a calm, understanding foster-to-adopt home where his age is seen not as a problem, but as a gift. He would be perfect for someone who values companionship, gentle walks, and quiet evenings. A home where he can sleep close by, feel included, and finally relax.
🩺 Health Information
🐶 Jake is neutered, microchipped, and house-trained. He is generally well for his age.
