Sonny (Border Collie mix) !!! ***PICS***

Poor Jakey didn't get a home for Christmas and as of the last adoption event it seems his foster Momma is getting pretty worried.

Jake needs some PT prayer power now more than ever!!!

At the last adoption event held at the Dane County Humane Society we had only 1 semi-seriously interested person and she ended up not following up at all. I feel so bad for Jake - it is obvious that he has become quite attached to his foster Mom but she really wants to rehome him. He is just so very energetic!

I tried to think of something I could do to somehow better Jake's chances of getting a home and I decided that I should help his foster Mom get some better pictures of him. The last picture I posted of him with the stick doesn't show him off in the most complimentary light, he looks like a veritable black blob in my opinion. But it's not Laura's fault she couldn't get a good picture - 1 person trying to take a picture of this hyper dog is a FEAT!

So between the two of us we got a fairly nice shot of his head and an OK full body shot. However, I am sort of disappointed in the pics since they looked better on the digital camera's little screen. Oh well.

Here's handsome Jake...

We tried to use the white bandana to break up his very black coat. I think it helped! (It's cute and Christmas themed too! )


I wanted to get this shot with his tail held at just the right spot and with all his nice feathering swaying in the breeze but that was impossible...

Prayers for Jake. He is just so gorgeous. You can see his intensity in the pic. Come on, Right Person, can't you see that Jake is the perfect working dog??? Agility, herding.......search and rescue...or....
Did anyone check to see if he could be used in a police capacity......maybe luggage checking....bomb sniffing.....??? A dog with that much intensity could be an asset.

Oh my gosh! My co-worker just adopted a pup that looks EXACTLY like this: (It gives me the goosebumps 'cause it looks JUST like Daisy!)



I'm going to show this to Ken on Monday. See if he wants ANOTHER one to match!


I hope Jake finds a home soon! What a sweetheart!

Oh, happy day!!!! I just finished reading 2nd Chance Border Collie Rescue's Spring Newsletter and Jake FINALLY found a home!!! I am absolutely thrilled - this news made my day!!!

Here is what the newsletter said...

After spending over a year and a half with Second Chance Border Collie Rescue - our poster doggie "Jake" finally found his forever home!!!! Jake was adopted by a nice family in the Milwaukee area. It was love at first sight! Originally, Jake came from the Monroe County Animal Shelter. We are happy that he finally found his family! Good Job Jake!!!!
