Here's what the humans have to say about me:
VIDEO: See Jake with his foster sister Lola (also available for adoption)

Late one night, Jake laid himself down in the middle of the road, ready to give up. He was starving and covered in antifreeze, with no hope in his eyes. For weeks after his rescue, Jake was frail and exhausted by the smallest exertions. As Jake began to regain his strength he also began to reveal extraordinary charm and benevolence. Jake's gratitude towards his saviors was apparent; but Jake's occasional anxiety and nervousness towards new humans was also becoming apparent. Despite his fearful moments (what his foster mom believes to be a lack of trust and socialization as a result of negligence during his former life) Jake has always been able to establish a bond with anyone who gives him a chance - humans and animals alike. Jake is exceptionally loyal. Once Jake makes friends, he considers those individuals friends for life. Furthermore, Jake has NEVER displayed aggression towards humans when he is fearful. Jake was also diagnosed heart worm positive. Believing he is as remarkable as his story, Jake's foster family covered the cost of his treatment which he underwent January 6, 2014
Though Jake's story is a reminder of the serious nature of homeless animals in peril, in his element, Jake is nothing more than the biggest, lovable goofball you'll ever meet. Big Boy Jake flops and frolics; rolls and romps. Like a child during those carefree years, Jake enjoys the simpler things in life such as laying flat on the grass with his favorite rawhides or curling up next to his foster mom for a warm nap.Try as she might, Jake's foster mom cannot convince him he is 85 lbs, not 20. Nevertheless, Jake is eager-to-please and has exhibited his capacity for learning. At the age of 2, Jake is ready to find his forever home where he can continue living to love and loving to live. Though Jake has made vast improvements with socialization, it is important his forever family know his story, be patient with him as he continues to improve, and have experience caring for large breeds.
