Meet Jake! He is a playful gentleman of a dog and our pet of the week.

Jake is a 12-year-old Australian shepherd mix weighing 53 pounds. He may be a senior gentleman, but his age shouldn't fool anyone, as he still loves to play.

He is heartworm-negative and recently had a dental procedure, so he is feeling good and ready for his next chapter. His foster family says he is playful and absolutely loves fetch. He also does well on a leash and really enjoys going for walks. To learn more, email adoptionteam@animalrescueneworleans.org or submit an application at animalrescueneworleans.org/adoptfoster.
