Hi, I’m Jake! Before you turn your screen upside down, let me explain. This is my belly-rub position. It’s also my grass-appreciation position, my back-scratching position, and my official adoption portrait. Others sit handsomely for the camera ~ I prefer to show you what you’re signing up for. I’m around 8 years old, with plenty of get-up-and-go followed by some lie-down-and-roll. I love my walks and have lovely leash manners. My foster family and I currently cover about 4-5 km over two daily outings with time for play as well. Throw a ball and I’m interested. Add somewhere to swim and you’ve planned my perfect day. I’m a gentle, affectionate fellow who enjoys children and other canine companions. A compatible furry friend might be lovely, although I haven’t been tested with cats. I can be quite vocal when inviting someone to play and if you take too long getting ready for our walk, I may offer a little commentary. Honestly, how complicated can shoes be? At home, I’m happiest wherever you are. I don’t need you to entertain me constantly ~ sharing a room is lovely. Brush me, scratch my belly or simply go about your day with me nearby. However, being alone is hard for me. I have separation anxiety and my foster family has been gently helping me practise short absences. An hour is currently my limit, so I need someone home most of the time who will patiently continue that work. This part matters as I’m looking for companionship and I need a family who understands just how much. A fenced yard with grass for rolling would make me very happy. At bedtime, I prefer a cool patch of floor beside your bed. I also snore. Consider me a complimentary sound machine with fur. So, that’s me. A walking buddy, swimming enthusiast, occasional commentator, and devoted companion…with a tummy that isn’t going to rub itself.
