My story

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

Meet Jacob, a playful and friendly adult dog. He`s a social butterfly who prefers his own company at times, but don`t let his independence fool you. He loves a good game of fetch and is always ready to explore new scents and sights. He enjoys agility, car rides, fetch, toys, and walks. He is laidback, leash trained and house trained, making him an easy fit for any home.

Jacob`s friendly nature makes him a hit with children; he`s always gentle and patient with them. But because he is big and strong, he`ll need to live with kids at least 10 years old. His obedience and intelligence come through right away. He knows the sit, stay, come, no, down, and off commands. He was only given up because of his owners` divorce.

Jacob is an affectionate 80-pound lap dog. His playful spirit and independent streak make him a unique companion. His intelligence will impress you, his curiosity will charm you, and his friendly nature will win your heart. His calm nature makes him an absolute joy to be around. His deep, resonating `hound bark` may seem intimidating but he is actually harmless. It`s just his unique way of communicating his excitement and curiosity about the world around him or his attempt to gain your attention for a treat or playtime. He is friendly with dogs smaller than him, but he is not comfortable with larger or dominant dogs, so you will need to bring your dog to meet him to be sure they get along.

His quirks include talking to animals on TV, and drinking water out of the tap. For additional information, please reach out to his foster, Ram, at CAPdogfoster@gmail.com. Adopt Jacob and let his playful spirit brighten your life. (tw, rr 11/07/2024)
