About Jake

I live in Greenville, SC. I am a 9-month-old neutered and chipped, 42-pound half Blue Heeler and half Husky. I have the average level of energy for a Heeler pup my age. I am house-trained and crate-trained but love staying outside during the day and in the house at night. At night I will sleep on my bed or go sleep in my crate since they leave the door open. I am used to a fenced-in yard but when resting I like to lay in the yard or hang out on the steps whether my family is home or not. I love getting belly rubs. I like to sleep in and can hold my bladder for a long time. My family gives me Nylabones because I am a heavy chewer. But will eat most treats. Catching ropes and chasing frisbees and squeak balls are my favorite things to do. Anything that squeaks is my thing. I know some tricks like sit, stay, leave it, lay down, drop it (with a ball), and trade - when I have a toy and they have a treat. They say trade and I drop the toy and they give me a treat. My family says give me 5, but it looks like a handshake. They socialized me early so I love people especially when they are excited to see me and want to rub my belly. I like to get to know dogs and want to be around them. My family has brought dogs to the house to meet one they recently dog-sat a poodle mix and I fell in love with her and followed her everywhere. Sometimes I want to be independent and not listen when they call but they will goodbye and walk away and I will follow. When it was really hot, my favorite is when they fill my kiddy pool with water. I love trying to eat the water coming from the spray hose. Especially love creeks and want to splash around in them. Other things I enjoy are walks, the woods, parks, and especially car rides oh yeah. I need a family who likes to have me hang around, spend time with me, be patient with me, and give me the freedom to play outside. Oh yeah, another dog is a great BONUS. I love the company. I have a leash, collar, shots, and rabies with papers, and neutered and chipped papers. Doggie poop bags. Toys and treats. Crate and outside house. Please give me the love and freedom to explore with humans and/or dogs. Recently my grandparents moved here. They are older. But because I am a Heeler puppy I love to jump up on people but not in a mean way but to get to know them. I however am too strong and have not learned to stop jumping and nipping. They also have a couple of Chihuahuas I want to play with but they are too small and frail. Plus since I am a puppy yet the things at their place have a whole new level of things to chew on because of this, I have to be on a leash outside. My parents don't like it so they want to find a home where I can have space outside to play with you and not be on the leash a lot. My family will want to know a little bit about you. For example: What kind of yard do you have? Dogs? Children? Will you leave me home all day? When you are not home where will I stay? Pictures would be great. I can send videos of me playing too. Will you take me to the vet if I need attention? and more because my family would like me to be in the best situations for me. They will also help with transportation to you if necessary and they can discuss it with you. They would like a donation to be made to the rescue center where you found me so they can help other rescues as well. I look forward to hearing from you.
