Original request. Okay ya'll, I'm in a bit of a bind I know this isn't really what this board is for but I'm not really in the know for rescues. My next door neighbor passed away yesterday and left his Elder-bull dog Jake behind. We were contacted by his family and asked us to find him a new home since they live out of state. (they live in WV or VA not sure which while we live TN) We are caring for him now, but we know we can't keep him for much longer, our Furbombers are currently at their tolerance limit for new arrivals. Anywho, I have a profile and contact info on a dedicated page for Jake on my blog, I am setting up a profile for him on PetFinder and will be making some phone calls to our local (and maybe not so local) rescues. But I (and Jake) would appreciate any shares you guys could do to help get him re-homed/adopted to a new furrever home. Here is a direct link to his page: www.meetthefurbombers.com/our-neighbor-jake
Thank you for any and all help!
Jake is a sweet and lovable Elder-Bull, about 9 years old. He is very
playful and will play ball for as long as you are willing to throw the
ball. He loves belly rubs and butt-scratches, he is good with children,
and up until recently had a playmate so should be fine sharing attention
with one other dog. He has had very little if any interaction with
cats, so we are unsure of how cat-friendly he would be. He is used to
constant companionship with people both inside and outside, and would
probably be happiest with someone who either works from home or has a
stay-at-home spouse.
If there isn’t a ball to play fetch with he does take a while to warm up to strangers.

Our knowledge of his medical history if very limited; he is neutered, we believe a year overdue on vaccinations, and heartworm/parasite status is unknown.
Jake has been through a lot of loss this past year, first his ‘Mom’ then his ‘Brother’ and now his ‘Dad’. This poor guy just needs someone to love him.
If you know of any rescues with openings, or potential adopters please email me at victoria.carter@meetthefurbombers.com or call at (615)440-8729. I will update as they occur.
My thanks, and Jake’s too!
