Meet Jake

Say hello to Jake, the 70-pound bundle of joy who’s just waiting to become your new best friend! This Golden Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix is turning 2 in November, and he's got a heart as big as his paws!

Jake is the kind of dog who wants to be with his humans as much as possible. Whether you’re lounging at home or out exploring the world, Jake is happiest when he’s by your side. He’s got a magnetic personality and makes friends wherever he goes—both with people and other dogs!

Jake’s also a total pro on the leash, making him the perfect companion for those daily walks or weekend hikes. He’s playful and energetic, so a home with another dog around his size would be a dream come true for him. They can romp around and tire each other out, which is always a plus!

However, Jake has a bit of a Houdini streak—he’s known for his impressive crate and fence escapes. That means he needs a home with a tall, secure fence or an owner committed to keeping him on a leash during outside adventures.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, and slightly mischievous companion to join you on all of life’s journeys, Jake is your guy!

P.S. Bonus points if you love belly rubs and don’t mind sharing your couch/bed!

All known information about an individual dog is provided in its listing. We do our best to provide accurate information, but adopters should understand that each home is different and the dog may behave differently in a new home. Dogs are creatures of their environment and you help make the dog what it will be. Homes considering adopting a puppy must be prepared for 1.) Flexible schedules for potty training. Puppies can only hold it for one hour per month of age (i.e. a 4-month-old puppy can only go 4 hours without a potty break). 2.) Crate training until the puppy is at least one year old to prevent chewing on inappropriate things when you can't supervise. 3.) Socialization. The more positive and varying experiences as a puppy the better, both in and out of your home. 4.) Puppy behavior and life stages are equivalent to a human toddler. It takes at least a full year to have a calmer, well-adjusted dog. Patience is required and when your dog's behavior is a positive experience for you and those around you, your patience will be rewarded ten-fold, for years to come. Please do not consider adopting a puppy if you have not thoroughly thought through the pros and cons of having one. So many people end up returning them after 3-5 months because they didn't realize the amount of work involved in raising a puppy. Patience, appropriate toys, socialization, and obedience training are all musts. All are time-consuming and can be expensive. All dogs require supervision with children and obedience training. Adopters that want to have good dogs must be prepared to put the time and effort into training a dog. Any dog requires work and effort, but a well trained, well-socialized dog is more than worth the effort to get them there.
