By Sophie and Little Jake

Arrrrr-ROOOOOOOOOOOO! Happy Howloween to all my two- and four-legged guy and ghoul friends out there. May your day be boo-tifully spooktacular! (Okay, I’ll stop now.)

As happy as I am that it’s All Hallows’ Eve, it saddens me that today also marks the end of Adopt-A-Dog Month. My pawl TJ has introduced me to so many wonderful new furiends over the past few weeks who all deserve happy furever homes. I’m crossing my paws that each and every one of these dear pooches is as fortunate as I was to find a loving new family.

Our last – but certainly not least – adoptable pup is a sweetie named Little Jake. Now, Little Jake is about as tall as me, and I’m no Jackahuahua, so I think his name might be a ”little” joke, BOL. He’s a 3-year-old terrier mix who loves to bop around chasing his Kong Wubba.

Why, there’s the pup now. Little Jake? Here, boy! Excuse me…Little Jake? Can you please put the Wubba down for a moment and introduce yourself to these nice people?

LITTLE JAKE

Oh! Sorry about that, Sophie! Sure, I can take a short break.

Hey, everybody. My name’s Little Jake although, like Sophie said, I’m really not so little. BOL! My original family had a couple of small dogs – I mean, they really were little guys – and I think I was kinda sorta a joke to them. I spent most of my puppyhood in doggy day care, which was fun, but I really missed having my family around. But they decided they didn’t want me anymore, and that’s how I ended up with the nice people at the Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation (LBWF).

I gotta say I really like it here. I have my very own Kong Wubba! Do you know what that is? If you don’t, well, let me tell you – it’s the greatest invention ever. This crazy toy bounces all over the place, and I love bouncing after it! Before I know it, a few hours have flown by, and I’m still chasing that wacky Wubba!

My people pals here are the awesomest, too. I like to give big ol’ doggie hugs to show how much I love ‘em. I can’t wait to give you a big ol’ hug, too! I’m a real low-maintenance kind of dog, and you won’t have any problem with me. So how about it? Here…let me show you how fun this Wubba is. Come back, Wubba!

Little Jake? Yoo hoo, Little Jake? Are you finished? Oh well. Now that you’ve had the opportunity to meet Little Jake, do you think you’re a good match? He’ll do fine in any loving and fun home, and as you can see, he can entertain his silly self for hours! To adopt this dearheart, please contact the Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation. If you mention TJ or i Love Dogs, you’ll get a FREE puppy starter kit!

Sophie was almost 84 dog years old when she passed to the Rainbow Bridge last November. She was adopted by i Love Dogs writer Laura Goldman in 1998 from a Hawthorne, Calif. shelter. She loved long naps, looking out the front windows and, most of all, her best buddy Leroy. Check out her other articles!
