Jake is still here in
Northeast PA waiting patiently for his forever home.
He is a lovely boy with lots of kisses to give his forever family.
His ideal home will be calm and quiet and be able to offer Jake daily
exercise, a warm bed for him to sleep in, and patience. He is fine with
crates for a few short hours at a time and is especially happy if given a
peanut butter-filled kong toy

Jake switched
foster homes so that he could have some more time for exercise and a little
training. He's a high energy, exuberant boy who loves to be on the go with
his people and a home where someone is around for part of the day for
regular walks and play would best suit his needs. Jake has suffered at the
hands of someone rough in his past and needs a little time to gain trust, he
responds well to people who can remain calm and not get over excited so he
would fit in well with people who understand how to behave around dogs and
help them relax.
He can be very enthusiastic about toys and food but with a little guidance
and rules has learned to be a gentleman and will sit and wait for a ball to
be thrown and to eat his food, he gives the gentlest kisses on your chin
when asked to sit quietly. Jake is a proud walking, naturally strong willed
guy and like many boxers will do best with people who can be a good
authority figure for him: calm, confident and consistent. He get's along
well with female dogs and as a naturally dominant boy, he may fit better
into a home with no other males.
Like many of us humans, Jake has an under active Thyroid and is on two tiny
tablets each day to regulate his condition. The medication is very cheap and
enables Jake to be a normal boy and have a comfortable life. He loves the
wood stove and just melts when you tuck him in at night - he seems very
grateful for the extra attention.
If you think that you could be a great pack leader for Jake, there's a
wonderful relationship waiting for you with this special boy.

Update
- This big boy has so much love to give. I let him have free run of the
house alone and he is so good. He is housebroken and doesn't touch anything
that isn't his. He loves his toys, boy is he a talker, he plays with his
toys and just talks up a storm, he's so funny.
His favorite time of day is going for walks. He walks very well on the
leash and listens, loves to run around the yard and get lots of exercise.
His eyes are so soft looking when he looks at you it just melts your heart.
Jake goes nuts for my 12yr old daughter, he obviously has a big liking for
kids. He is a big boy and I think he would do best in a home with older kids
that can handle his size. Jake is a great dog that has everything you look
for in a male boxer!

Jake was
GREAT on his first day at his foster home. He was sooooo happy to run in the
back yard. All he wanted to do was run and kiss his foster mom and then run
some more.
Jake was given free access to the whole house last night and did not disturb
anyone or anything. Jake is going to make a great addition to any family.
Jake also wanted to play with the resident Boxer. She was a little shy but
Jake took it all in stride.
Jake's foster mom will tell you more in a few days.

Jake is
a great guy with a sweet personality. Unfortunately, he is still at
our kennel as we are very short on foster homes. He loves to go for
walks and get company at the kennel.
Please consider fostering or adopting Jake into your home.

Jake just came from a large shelter. Gail was kind enough to keep Jake till
a foster home or permanent home comes Jake's way. We will post more as
soon as we can. So far he is a sweet dog who did fine on his car trip
to freedom.
