Jake – September 2022

We are heartbroken over the loss of our beloved Jake. This AMAZING being entered our lives when we adopted him from NCBR in June 2011, and life changed immediately. Every day with this sweet, loving, highly intelligent gift was filled with laughter and amazement… and gratitude. How fortunate we were to have this handsome boy become our buddy, our protector, a perfect companion and big brother to his sissy, Carly.

Jake was the most intelligent dog I’ve ever known… he was intuitive, a thinker and problem solver. He amazed friends and family with his ability to understand and communicate. He never entered a space without making the rounds to introduce himself to every human present. He was such a special dog. He never chased a ball or played with toys… he was much more interested in what we were doing, and how he could participate.

We shared eleven years with this wonderful spirit and as devastating as his passing has been for us, we know that he lived his best life and that he knew he was safe, well cared for and LOVED.
