My personality

My story

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

Jake is a fun loving, easy going, energetic meatball! He's about 2-3yo, UTD on shots, HW negative, neutered, & definitely a lover not a fighter! Jake is also HW negative & 62lbs! Does good with dogs & all adults! He literally just wants to be loved on & was so excited to get to go riding, he just laid by me & wanted to be touched the whole time! Jake's smile will melt your heart! He was picked up as a stray on 7-6-23.
Jake LOVES to ride, walk, play, chew on Kong toys, play in water, &&&& cuddle! Because Mr Jumping Jake thinks he is Rocky Balboa, he needs to be in a house with no small kids, small dogs, or cats. Not because he doesn't like them, he is just a rough player & may accidentally plow them over. Jake does great in a crate with his Kong toys.
Jake would do best with someone who will provide some structure and obedience training. He needs some help learning how to use his energetic personality in a positive way. He's super food motivated and the training possibilities are endless! He absolutely LOVES playing in the water at the local Waterpaws event! And he met tons of new friends!

Their adoption process

1.

Submit Application

I email application out & then call references, vet reference, & home visit (if in TN)

2.

Meet the Pet

If in TN, we arrange meet & greet with people & other pets in home to see how it goes

3.

Approve Application

If all checks out & meeting went well, then the dog can go home with person & the final contract will be signed

Additional adoption info

If in TN, we prefer people do the foster to adopt program before finalizing the adoption. That way we know that the home is a perfect fit for the dog & the new owner.

Go meet their pets

We have random adoption events at local businesses, Chamber of Commerce , & Tractor Supply. The shelter is located at the Public Works building at 1266 Belmont Dr Mcminnville, TN

More about this shelter

I (Hollie) am a volunteer for City AC. I am in charge of the adoptions/fosters/ & volunteers. I am a full time teacher, but my passion is caring for animals. They need a voice & I try to do what I can to be theirs.
Keith is the Director of AC, but is very willing to work with whomever we can to get these babies into good homes! He does the stuff during week day hours & I cover the after hours & weekends.
