About Jake
Meet Jake. This fella has quite the story. We were told Jake spent most of his life with a family. Sadly his owner passed away and Jake was given up at an estate sale. Somehow after being passed around to different owners Jake found himself in the worst position he had ever been in. He was unwanted and living with a terrible person. Jake's "owner" took him to a vet's office to be put down because Jake is old he no longer wanted him. We find it heartbreaking that this is something that vets here encounter because to many people dogs are just things. We could go on and on about how terrible humans were to Jake but this story isn't about the people who failed him, its about Jake getting another chance at a family. Thankfully someone at the vets office where he was taken to be euthanized pleaded with the owner to surrender Jake to them instead of ending his life. That is when CARE was called. After Jake saw our vet we learned that he is about 10 years old, healthy and spry! Age is not a disease and it was no reason to end this happy pups life. Jake is now in a foster home where he happily follows the humans around and interacts with the other dogs. We considered giving him a new name for his new start to life but his foster shared that as she was driving to pick him up the song "Feed Jake" came on her radio. As the song says Jake is a good boy, he's just looking for someone to be a best friend to! "Now i lay me down to sleep And pray the Lord my soul to keep If i die before i wake,feed Jake He's been a good dog My best friend right through it all If i die before i wake,feed Jake" If you think Jake is meant to be part of your family and you are interested in learning more and speaking with his adoption coordinator and foster mom please fill out an application at www.caretx.org/adopt.
