Jake is a male silver dapple long hair neutered standard dachshund, 14.5 pounds and approximately 10 years old. Don’t let the age fool you. He does well with other dogs and loves people. Do not know about cats or children but with his personality do not feel that will be a problem.

Jake did have stomach surgery due to a twisted stomach early in 2025 and this requires him to eat in a slow feeder bowl. Otherwise, he has no other medical issues.

So, are you looking for a companion to share the new year 2026? Jake would make an amazing companion. He is very smart, has already mastered the ramps and stairs in the house. Walks well on a lease and rides very well in the Jeep. He knows where the doggie door is, loves going in the yard and has discovered the art of chasing squirrels. He can become toy obsessed and may need to take a time out from full toy destruction.

Jake is not completely house broken but is improving every day. He has not shown any resource aggression, toys or even food.

Jake braved the New Years fireworks noises without a problem. 

This very handsome boy would be a great addition to any home.

We at Tired Dog Rescue strive to find homes for dogs in need, build quality relationships with responsible owners, and preserve current dog-family homes by seeking solutions to financial, behavioral, and situational dog problems. We believe the lives of homeless, abandoned and abused dogs are just as precious as dogs that currently have a loving home. We believe that all dogs deserve a loving home despite their age, medical condition and/or disabilities. We provide whatever medical care is needed regardless of cost. All dogs are spayed/neutered, heartworm negative and current on vaccinations before being placed.
