Jake is a 10-year old Staffordshire terrier who needs a new forever, or foster, home.
Jake has been well taken care of, and is neutered and up to date on vaccines. A recent wellness exam, including x-rays, showed him to be in excellent health.
He’s a loving dog who enjoys sleeping with his people, but will settle for a sofa.
He weighs about 80 pounds and is a low to medium energy dog, who enjoys short walks and is good on leash.
He would do best as the only dog in a home, as he doesn’t like other dogs being too close. He’s not used to being around cats.
If you’d like to know more about Jake, please contact [email protected] or 1-855-336-4226.
