Age: 1 year Gender: Male Color: Black/White Weight: 42 lbs. Variety: Field-bred Hi! My name is Jake. I was picked up as a stray and brought to the Payson City Animal Shelter in Payson, Utah. Thankfully, my foster mom rescued me because my time was up! Boy, am grateful. I love to be with people and am always right by their side. I have good manners in the house and I am house trained. My foster mom says I am the smartest dog she has met in a long time. I am quickly learning my basic commands. I can use the doggy door and love everyone I meet. I even wag my tail at people who walk by the car. I love kids and get along with them great! I have only been around cats a few times. I am nice to cats, but I might chase them if they run. My favorite toys are stuffed animals. I love to toss them in the air and run around the yard with them in my mouth. I also like to chew on bones and I like to play fetch with tennis balls. I will fit in great with any active lifestyle. I am very athletic. I run and jump like a champ. I have fantastic fur that is just the right length. It hardly gets tangled at all and is easy to brush. I have the most soulful brown eyes and expressive face. Sometimes it looks like I am smiling! You can see how gorgeous I am from my photos. I love my foster family, but know they cannot keep me forever. My foster family loves me and says I am a joy to have around. They are sure that I am going to make some person or family very happy. I am anxious to find my Forever Home.
