Jake – Sidelines Dog of the Day
Thursday, December 20 2012
Jake was found abandoned at his home by a good neighbor when his owner was put into a nursing home. He was clearly well cared for during his tenure with his previous owner. Friends nearby took care of feeding the dog before he was surrendered to BDRR. Jake is a bit shy when first meeting new people, but warms up quickly and is a very sweet boy. I am looking for that special someone to adopt me and give me a forever home. If you are interested or have questions about me, please contact Big Dog Ranch: adoptions@bdrr.org or 561-309-3311
