About Jake(RM)

Meet Jake Jake is a handsome 2.5 year old Chihuahua. Jake was one of 14 Chihuahuas that his owner surrendered to Animal Control in the spring. We were able to bring Jake into our shelter on April 12, 2018. Not having a lot of positive interaction with people, when Jake initially arrived he was scared and frightened and shied away from contact. Thanks to the patience and work of shelter staff and volunteers, Jake is a new boy these days. He's blossomed under their care and now he loves being with people and the other Chihuahuas that came in at the same time he did. In fact, because they like each other so much, three of the remaining Chihuahuas are kenneled together providing each other with comfort and friendship. Jake has learned to walk well on a leash. And, we've learned he loves being outside in a fenced area so he can run around and feel the fresh air and sunshine on his face. He's a happy boy and his spirit shines. He's learned to trust again and is ready, willing and able to be someone's forever companion. Jake is most likely not house-trained, but he's smart and with patience and consistency, we expect he'll learn in no time at all. Jake is current on vaccinations and is neutered.
