More about Jake

Meet sweet Jake!

Jake arrived at Battersea with six of his siblings from another rescue. Unfortunately, we have no information about their previous history.

Jake, like all of his siblings, has found the move to our busy London site quite challenging especially in those first few days. Jake is very worried and has shown to be the most scared of the lot, lacking in life experience with the outside world.

He is currently kennelled with two of his siblings, who he may be rehomed with. Jake has been quite worried outside, sticking with his bonded handler but has slowly been building in confidence and exploring. Like all of his siblings Jake is struggling with walking on lead and is currently carried in and out of his kennel for outside time. Jake has been able to make friends with his bonded handlers and will settle onto their laps and accept a fuss, but this has taken some time to get to this stage and can still be very unsure.

Jake is looking for a dedicated family who are happy to commit the time needed to help him settle into a new environment and build his confidence. He would suit owners with some previous experience of anxious dogs who are confident in reading dog body language and advocating for his needs. Due to his worried nature, he would also benefit from living with a steady role model dog, with his siblings or another resident dog.
