Story
This is Jake! Intake Date: 1/2/2025 Intake Type: Stray Gender: neutered male DOB: 1/5/2023 Some of you may recognize this handsome fella from his 2 month long game of cat and mouse, where he was spotted running all over from Arkport NY to Canisteo NY! He had several organizations, dog control officers, individuals, and whole communities working together to try and bring him to safety. After many failed attempts, there was success! It took some time for Jake to settle in and start to open up, and we are still learning new things about him every day. We do believe that he was dumped and left to fend for himself by his owner. It is also likely that he may not have been treated kindly in the past as he is very leery of men. Jake is much more accepting and open to women, but we have been slowly introducing him to men in hopes that he can learn that they too can be friends. Once Jake is comfortable with his people, he turns into a big mushy teddy bear! He loves to give hugs and kisses and spend time lounging next to his people. He enjoys playing fetch, although he's not the most coordinated pup! He would be the perfect snuggle buddy on cold winter days, or durning netflix binges. He really is a sweet boy, he just needs someone with patience and that is willing to provide him with ongoing training and support to help him navigate his challenges! Jake is selective with other dogs, as he is fearful, but he has been able to make friends with another shelter pup of ours (Griffin) and they play very well together. Multiple meet and greets may be required if you have another pup in the home to see if they may be a good match. Jake does require a home with older children 16+ years old who are able to understand and respect his boundaries, and allow him to interact with them on his own terms. A home with a fenced in yard would be ideal as well, due to Jakes history of being difficult to catch. Jake truly is an amazing boy, and we know he will make a wonderful companion to someone who is willing and able to give him all the time and patience required for him to blossom. Stop in today to meet this sweet handsome guy!
