Jake Australian Shepherd Alexandria, VA

Meet Jake!

Jake is a standard black tri adorable Aussie with a nub tail, gorgeous coat, and beautiful markings, including what almost looks like a heart on his head - fitting for this sweet boy! He will be 2 years old in December and is a healthy 62 pounds. Jake is super smart and working on basic obedience in his foster home. He also walks well on a leash and rides nicely in the car with a tether. He is house broken and crate trained, though reliable in the house without a crate.

Jake is a very active and affectionate guy. He likes all people he's met, including children, though he will jump up on you and might accidentally knock small children down! Jake barks in excitement when he sees or meets someone new, but he is ready for pets a short minute thereafter. Jake really loves people, but he also enjoys other dogs and has met and interacted with dogs of all sizes and ages. He loves to play and will wrestle and chase his pals for hours. He is an expert at fetch and will gladly return the frisbee or ball to you for another throw! He shares toys nicely with his canine pals. Jake also enjoys nice long walks.

Jake's ideal home is active and loving, with plenty of time to give him the mental and physical exercise he requires, as well as training to help him meet his full potential. A fenced yard is ideal and another playful dog would be great! If you think Jake might be your new best friend, apply for him today! He's fostered in Westminster, Maryland.
