ADOPT A PET

Jake is very sweet, loving, and gentle companion. He loves exploring the house and being outdoors on walks. He will thank you for his meals with happy steps and doggie smiles. He is on daily medicine for epilepsy. His hips seem a little weak. He needs a home that is not upstairs or that has many steps that he must use daily. We have one step going into the back of the house and he stumbles a little with that. Jake must have an owner who can lift him or use steps getting in and out of the car. He does not hear, even sounds close to him, but he responds well with hand gestures. Jake was recently returned to PPI when his owner passed away, and he lost 30 teeth at a dental visit this month. It's time for Jake to get a break! Could you be Jake's lucky person? Apply today!
