My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jake is a wonderful, mature boy who needs a great forever home! We aren't positive of his age, but are guessing in the 5 - 6 age range. But we know that Jake has one of those rare "Old Souls!" This sweet, SWEET dog was pulled from the County shelter on the day his 'stray hold' was up.

He came to us gaunt, sick, and injured; but, also friendly, grateful, and soo loving! You can actually SEE the sweetness in his face. And that is even after surgical removal of a b-b that was under the skin near his left eye.

Jake has been totally rehabbed, neutered, microchipped, and treated for & cleared of heartworms. He is a quiet soul, housetrained, good on leash; loves rides in the car; good with children, and good around other dogs, although he doesn't interact with them much. He rarely barks, but will let you know if someone is coming to the door. He's always happy to see company!

We are looking for a quiet home, maybe with a retired couple who would love to have this beautiful creature lying by the fire in the winter and on the porch with them in the Spring! Jake is a Comfort dog!! Like mashed potatoes with gravy or rich gumbo over rice! =) His calm, gentle nature helps put life in proper perspective.

We know his back-story (before the shelter) and it makes him even more amazing!! If you are interested in adopting Jake, please complete the online pet adoption application you will find near his pictures on our website: www.BaytownHumaneSociety.org. Jake is being fostered in the Atascocita, TX area near Houston. If Jake comes to live with you, he will definitely enhance your life!
