About Jake
Jake is a 14 month old sable German Shepherd male who found himself in an animal holding facility, however did not cope being confined to a kennel. He is now in foster care where he is receiving the love and attention that he craves. Jake now feels he is an important family member, and loves being around him humans and dog friends.
Jake has learnt from his foster carer to be social around German Shepherds, Kelpies and even small dogs and puppies. He will sit and drop for his food and knows basic commands. He is very quick to learn with positive praise and clear boundaries.
Jake would be best suited to a home where he will be an integral family member. A family who have recently had a German Shepherd and understand the time, commitment and on going training he may require. He will thrive in a home where he has access to a large outdoor area and is invited in the home. He is very respectful and well-behaved inside. He has not been tested with cats or young children.
If you have recently owned a German Shepherd or large breed dog, and understand German Shepherd and think you have the energy to give me a new home, then please select the "Enquire about Jake".
If you live in Queensland or Victoria, you can be considered, however you will need to be able to drive with your family to meet Jake. If for any reason he doesn't fit your family you will be responsible for bringing him back to Willow Tree or helping us to rehome from your home.
Medical notes
He is desexed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and regularly wormed.
On desexing we have discovered that he has hip dysplasia. Copies of his x-rays and vet report will be available.
Adoption details
We have an Adoptions Manager who screens all prospective candidates as to their suitability to adopt a German Shepherd Dog.
We try to contact every one by phone but if that isn't successful we will email our application form to you, which needs to be completed and returned, or you can call us back and we can chat and complete for you. We will also ask you to provide photos of your yard and fencing to enable us to see where the dog will be kept and that they have areas of shade and shelter.
All our dogs are ready to go to their new home, so when you enquire about a dog you must be in a position to take them into your home. We are unable to hold a dog while you fix your fences or go on holiday, etc.
The successful candidate who adopts one of our dogs is provided with an information kit, ongoing support, training and advice on all aspects of feeding, training and general assistance to ensure both the new owner and our rescued dog settle into their home.
