About Jakk

Attention adopters seeking an instant love bug, do we have a dog for you! Jakk ARPH #14324 is an 11 year old (DOB 4/24/10) Aussie who spent most of his life with a family who taught him all about love and affection. Sadly, his fairytale ended when he was turned into rescue due to his human dad's terminal illness. Despite losing his family Jakk has proven to have nothing but tenderness and trust in his soul. This may be, in part, due to his former training as a therapy dog with TDI (Therapy Dogs International). Everyone who meets him falls instantly in love. Jakk is fully housetrained, has impeccable house manners and is sweet as sweet can be. He knows all basic commands, walks wonderfully on a leash, and absolutely blossoms when visitors come to the house, including children. Jakk would be a perfect companion to someone who misses having a dog in the house but does not want to deal with the uncertainties of a young rambunctious pup or a high energy adolescent. Jakk lived as an only dog and does not appreciate the high energy and pushy nature of the other male in his foster home so will ideally be placed as an only or with a lower energy female. He is not a fan of cats, so no kitties for him. He recently underwent cruciate repair surgery (his other knee was repaired in 2019) and because of rehab will be available prior to Labor Day. Rest assured, the wait will be well worth it, dogs this sweet do not come along every day. Jakk is also on a special food to prevent urinary stones. This is a very easy thing to maintain and does not require any additional work by his adopter. While a physical fence is preferred, homes without fencing will be looked at on an individual basis. No invisible fencing, please. Jakk is up to date on his vaccinations, has been heart worm tested and is neutered. Jakk is currently being fostered in Suffolk County, Long Island. An adoption application and home visit will be required. ARPH is not active in the 5 boroughs of NYC so we are unable to place dogs in those areas. Applications from there will not be processed.
