Jake is a smart, alert Rat Terrier, and along with Spiderman, is always one of the first dogs visitors to the sanctuary see as their dog apartment has a long attached outdoor run that is situated right along the parking lot . He was surrendered by All Breed Dog Rescue of Minnesota five years ago after he bit a jogger ( who had kicked him!) while at the dog park. The jogger made it his life mission to see Jake executed. Jake had so many great qualities: intelligence, energy, and he had mastered obedience and knew many tricks. The foster begged for his life, and since we didn't like the jogger's vindictive attitude towards this small dog, we decided that Jake needed a second chance where he would be safe and not kicked for getting in the way when he was minding his own business at the dog park. Jake has demonstrated exemplary behavior at Home for Life, and has never attempted to bite anyone, but still dislikes men as a result of the incident with the mean spirited jogger which nearly cost his life.
