Precious Jake

[Pam]

Every now and then I visit the site of the shelter where we got my Ripley. Today my heart melted as I clicked on Jake's picture. I think you will agree he is precious and would make a wonderful companion for anybody. He is a senior guy, and I can't for the life of me imagine who would surrender a senior pup and place him in a shelter. Anyway, folks in NJ please take a look at Jake. It says "Urgent."

Jake's sad face just broke my heart
He is very cute though! I hope he finds a forever home soon. I too can't understand why anyone would give up their companion on 10 years like that!! Makes me sooooo mad

Oh Pam,
I cannot stand when people put their senior dogs in shelters....
I mean you've had them that long????
Did you see the 9 yr.old airedale/terrier cross?!?!?!?!?!?
And The Great Dane????

How can they do that! Just like poor Isis in my post on the new GSD rescue.

He is precious. I cried when I looked at his cute face in those bunny ears. I am heartbroken. How could they!

Oh, Pam, look at that sweet, sad face and those bunny ears He's the most adorable little guy. You can't help but cry to think he is now homeless. I can't imagine how former owners like these live with themselves, turning in a loyal companion after al those years. Let us know what they say, Mugsy!

[Pam]

Oh Mugsy bless you! Even if you don't decide to go forward with an adoption maybe it will give him a little more"time" until his new home can be found. I should really stay off that site. There are sooooo many good dogs there and many are strays, as Ripley was. It doesn't say that was the case with little Jake, so he must have been surrendered. Sandra, your signature ""Blessed is the person who has earned the love of an old dog."
- Sydney Jeanne Seward is so true. How could his people do this???

Oh Rachel - would hubby allow another cocker? I don't dare approach mine. There have been a couple of poodles since Ripley came to live with us. I know it is a dangerous site for me to visit. Fortunately the shelter is about 45 min. away so I can't readily go there and bond with another pupster in the flesh. It is tempting enough on a website. I just say a prayer for the pupster in need and hope that the good Lord hears. Oh my I hope he is listening to my prayer for Jake. What a sweetheart!

Pam, this is just torture. First Tess and now Jake. If I thought there were any chance that I could have a #3, Jake certainly would be one to scoop up. He sounds so much like my Tucker personality wise. A little huney bunny for sure. It just makes me so sad.

My heart is broken into a thousand pieces

I just NEVER understand some people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Having my senior rescue girl has been a blessing. She gives me just as much love as any other foster or rescue I've had. How someone can turn them away at the time the dogs need their humans most BAFFLES me I wonder what these people would do if they got old and no one wanted to care for them!!

Please keep us updated I feel like driving up there myself and getting Jake and smothering him with love. If only we could save them all

[lovemyshiba]

Jake is such a sweetie!!! It makes me so sad that he is in the shelter. I am praying that he finds a new angel to watch over him--maybe it will be Mugsy
Fingers and paws crossed here, he sure sounds like a wonderful companion.

Jake is a sweetheart!

They said that they have no way to get him to us. I asked about transport and am waiting for a reply.
