Jake is an small fawn male, weighing in at just 54 pounds. His ears stand straight up when something catches his attention. Jake is great with adults and with all ages of children. Jake thinks he is a 3-4 year old as far as activity is concerned. He is not tolerant of small dogs or cats.

Jake was returned to GPA due to a schedule change. His former owner was required to be away from home more hours and Jake was becoming very lonely. Jake's teeth were recently cleaned and he is in good condition. Jake has found his new home and enjoying his retirement.

Jake has been experiencing some weight loss and had some tests with an internal medicine specialist to determine the cause. He has been diagnosed with a condition called Inflammitory Bowel Disease. In addtion to that he currently has a bacterial overgrowth in his intestine. Jake has started on the medication to control his condition and a special diet to help maintain his health. This condition, referred to as IBD can be treated and Jake can finally have a happy, pain free life.

Jake is doing well on his new food and treatment and has been adopted by a wonderful person who fell in love with him. The feeling is mutual and Jake is very happy in his home-for-life.
