About Us
Jake, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jake
Age: Six months old
Gender: Male Breed: Border Collie Mix
Home: Sacramento, California, USA
 
   This is Jake, a Border Collie mix (we believe the mix is Tasmanian Devil). As cute as he may look, there is a devil inside this precious puppy waiting to play or chew at any given time. Yet at night, the times we treasure the most, Jake cannot get enough love. Of course he sleeps in our bed and the closer the better. Many times, we will wake up at night and his head will be level with ours. He even has a tendency to hog the covers. During the day he is business as usual, while his Border Collie instincts drive him to herd whatever may be looming in the backyard. Once his work is over, he climbs upon the picnic table in the back and protects our yard. His reward comes in the form of a daily walk in which he looks for puddles to splash in. He loves the water. In fact, we have even caught him standing in the middle of a sprinkler occasionally. Jake has many special qualities, too many to count. However, we believe we are the special ones; we have found such a wonderful friend.
