Jake #4159

Jake (#4159) is a 1 1/2-year old (DOB 6/20/23) silver/charcoal Labrador Retriever.  Jake weighs 75 pounds.

12.22.24 UPDATE ON JAKE:

Jake ended up in a shelter (who reached out to Golden Bond Rescue) when his owner’s health precluded taking care of him anymore. Once evaluated by GBR, Jake went immediately into a foster to adopt home, but while they cared for him, it ended up not being the right fit owing to his being a young energetic boy, so Jake will be looking for his furever home again soon.

In the meantime, Jake has landed in a wonderful foster home and is having a great time. He loves to run around in the large fenced yard, and while he has always enjoyed chasing after balls, his
fosters and their resident dogs are teaching Jake to bring the ball back. Now they’re working on
getting him to drop it. They’re also working on teaching Jake not to play nip. Apparently, Jake
did not learn this as a puppy, but he’s figuring it out now. He wants to please. His fosters say
that Jake is learning a variety of commands quickly, and is especially motivated by small treat
rewards.

Jake’s fosters report that Jake is curious about the resident cats but is not chasing them. Jake
also had good house manners; he’s not destructive and he’s completely housetrained. Good
boy Jake! Jake loves the outdoors and is strong and curious (he has quite the sniffer) but is
doing pretty well on leash.

Stay tuned for more updates on Jake.
