Hello Jake, it is an honor to meet such a handsome sweet natured dog. I must say that I got teary just reading about your life before you were rescued. Poor dog; you had a rough life ... but not any more. As bad as it was for you, it is now that much better with your new human and home and other dogs to play with. I hope all of you have many more years together. Congrats on being DOTD!

You beautiful beautiful boy.

I never understand and never will how they can ever trust humans again. But they can and do.

THANKYOU for rescuing Jake ... puppy mills and back yard breeders are wicked and evil. They care only for money .

Jake... you have a wonderful Forever home . Live well ...

Hello Jake!

I saw that smiling poodle thumbnail and I just knew I had to click and read up about you! I have bichons, cousins to yourself in dogdom.

Oh my, I was shocked to read "The Evolution Of Jake." I too have volunteered with rescue, though never to the extent of seeing the inside of the puppymill; photos are more than enough for me. So I salute your human, we need folks like this! I was a foster pawrent for a breed rescue, and one of my "flock of fluffs," Tasha, came from a mill. She was almost 5 years old when she was rescued. I never was a "successful" foster mom, as I adopted each and every one of my fosters myself, ha haaa. Foster failure, that's me!

Now I see you sharing the sofa, living the life of a pampered pet, having doggie siblings to play with, kitties to share your home, and I am SO HAPPY for you Jake! You never could have imagine life like this! I really enjoyed seeing your smiling face in these photos.

Enjoy your day Jake, as our Dog of the Day; but I can tell, at your house, it is Dog of the Day every day!

Hello, handsome Jake! I like your pretty colored coat-- it makes me think of champagne! Your story got my eyes leaking today. The first part of your life was tough, but now you have a wonderful home, doggies and kitties to be with, and people who love you very much! Happy Dog of the Day to you! I hope you have many wonderful years with your caring people!

I have been in rescue for 23 years and I never get used to these horrible stories of abuse and neglect. I am so glad Jake was rescued and brought to a wonderful furever home. Much love and respect to Jake's owners for doing that. I am not a fan of breeders since what I do and what I see are horrific sights. If people stop buying, less dogs and cats would be put to sleep every year. There are tens of thousands being destroyed b/c of no homes. I understand people love certain breeds - my favorite is the German Shepherd, but I love them all - especially the mixed breeds. Shelter/rescue pets give so much love b/c they are so grateful. Dogs, cats, horses, - you name it. Many backyard breeders have the dogs and cats live in deplorable conditions and just use them to make their money. I have a problem with that. People shouldn't be making money at the animal's expense. I had a female that was bred so much that it stripped her of all nutrients in her body. She was 11 when I got her and didn't even have any teeth and was in horrible condition. I, too, have shaved many where the hair comes off like taking a jacket off. It's horrible. Thank you so much for saving Jake. And Jake - congratulations on DOTD. You deserve it.

Thank-you for being you and rescuing wonderful Jake, so glad he is DOTD today! I can't dwell on the hellhole he came from, never understand animal abuse. It makes me sick, like literally. I'm just so happy you are lovin' him so much! He looks radiantly happy. Peace and love
