Jake, the Dog of the Day
Name: Jake
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Papillion
Home: Hillsboro, Oregon, USA
 
   Jake came to us as an adult dog that we adopted thru a rescue. I was not looking to fall in love with a Papillion, but as most of us know, the dogs pick us, we don't pick them! He is a total delight and soooo smart. He has learned all the obstacles in dog agility, but my handling skills leave much to be desired. We have conversations about everything, and he is quite the listener.

    I think the most special thing Jake has brought to our house is the importance of enjoying every day to the fullest. Every moment of every day is an adventure to be met with a bounce, a bark, and a doggy smile. This photo was one of those lazy summer days when it was time to just hang out and enjoy the sunshine. What you can not see is the next moment, where he is hot after the evil, wicked, seed-stealing squirrel!!! My husband and I are thankful that we were chosen to adopt Jake and encourage anyone considering a new pet to be open to adopting an adult dog.
