A Spoiled Dog Lives Here

Ranked #8,778 in Pets & Animals, #223,354 overall

Hello, my name is Jake ...

I'm a Schipperke-Terrier mix that was rescued from the Humane Society, during the seventh week of my life.

I love long walks, car rides, tug of war, playing fetch, eating plush animals ... especially ducks, chewing the heels out of my dad's socks and sitting on my mom's lap, so she won't leave without me.

Life in Minnesota has been good so far ... but I'm still wondering where the grass went.

My Parents

If I can't get one to listen, the other one will.

We Love Dogs!My mom and dad are the greatest!

Even though they are both grandparents to human children, I think they like me the best.

No one else gets to go to work with them everyday and I don't see any of those kids sleeping in our bed.

Thank goodness that they're creative souls and laugh all the time. Maybe that's why they are constantly buying me new toys after I've destroyed the others. They must think it's a really fun game, too!

Animal Humane Society

Golden Valley, Minnesota

Animal Humane SocietyMy (2) brothers and (2) sisters were roaming the countryside in Oklahoma when we were rescued by the wonderful folks at "Save Our Strays" in Oklahoma. I am so thankful that they transported all of us to the Golden Valley, Minnesota Humane Society, where we were all adopted on the very same day.

Jake, a supplant of Jacob...

meaning to track or follow.

My Name is JakeDidn't take us long to figure that one out.

Break the routine and you pay!

If your dog is fat you're not getting enough exercise.

Where's the Grass?Each day starts with our first trip outside and doesn't end until 9:30 pm ... when Jake is finally warn out from 2 walks around the lake, tug-of-war, kill the plush, where's your chewy bone and a little lovin' on one of his parents laps.

There isn't a plush dog toy on the planet that has survived the wrath of Jake...tennis balls are a best option.

This mix of the two breeds takes patience, love and high energy.

Thanks to Jake ....

Taking a walk each day is not an option!
