Jake was born on February 11, 2008 and died on February 25, 2021. He was adopted at the age of 5 from English Springer Rescue America (ESRA).

He enjoyed hanging...

Jake was born Nov 17, 2009 in Brainerd, MN. He was lovable, joyful and happy. He loved long walks down the Sakatah trail, where we would have to carry him home because he wanted to keep going.
