Buddy (Jake 06-549)

Profile

Hello, my name is Jake. I am a quiet, mellow Golden/Lab mix. I look quite regal, but my upbringing has not been so great. I was found neglected in Iowa. I spent the last 2 months in a shelter where I got all up to date on my shots and was helped to find a family to take me in until I can find my forever home. I am very friendly, maybe even a little shy. But give me a tug toy and I'll show you some fun play. I'm kind of new to fetch but I know what drop means and I usually will if I think you will throw it again. I tend to get a little rough during my play, but heck I'm still a puppy at heart! Foster Dad told his kids I have a soft mouth and am a great dog. I need to learn lots of stuff. Nobody has taught me to heel, stay, sit or come but I have tons of potential if someone would take the time to train me. I do not even know how to beg! I have already learned to sleep in a crate and tonight I used a Gentle Leader and was even learning to sit when we stopped walking.

Buddy FKA Jake 06-549 passed away peacefully in my embrace on Sept 12, 2020.

I do not have the words to express my sadness at losing my best boy.

Buddy was a blessing that God gifted me and I will be forever grateful to Him/Her for bringing us together.

One day, the pain and sadness will pass but never will the sense of loss.

I will see you again at the foot of the bridge and together we will begin our next journey.

Just wanted to give an update on Buddy, FKA Jake 06-549.

Adopted as a 14-month-old pup, Buddy has been my constant partner through thick and thin.

He will turn 14 this October and I relish the times yet to come.

Tho’ in the twilight of his life, he was, is, and will always be my RAGOMuffin fuzzybutt!

It's with joyful hearts that Buddy, FKA Jake 06-549, and I will celebrate our 4 year anniversary together on January 4th. Not a day goes by without me giving thanks to God and RAGOM for bringing him into my life. From our twice daily romps to the dog park, to our endless walks thru the trails of Wirth Park, I cannot imagine a life without him. I am honored and privileged to be his human companion. Buddy, great dog, greater companion.

God bless all the fur babies. Rescue-Rehome-Repeat!!!

Buddy, FKA Jake 06-549, has become quite the water dog. No matter what the weather or water temperature he must take a dip. Afterwards, he loves to meander to the end of a dock, any dock, and sit reflectively and view what the world has to offer...We still hit Lake of The Isles dog park every day at 4:30 AM for ball tossing and again at 4:30 PM for doggy happy hour. We are so grateful to RAGOM for all the great things they do and for bringing us together.

Wanted everyone to know that Buddy, FKA Jake 06-549, and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary on January 4th. We still hit Lake of the Isles dog park everyday at 4:30AM, yes AM, and 5PM. He is best friends with my neighbor's German Shepard, so much so, that we cut an opening in our common backyard fence so they can always enjoy each other's company. Buddy truly has become a dog in his full...

It's been 2 years since Buddy ( FKA Jake 06-549 ) adopted me.

Though he came from rescue, it was I who was saved. I haven't the words to express my gratitude to God and Ragom. Buddy; A great dog, a greater companion…

Hello, Jake again. Boy, am I getting a lot of practice heeling and sitting while using my Gentle Leader. I even behave well with my foster kids. I really like to play with my foster kids. They take me to the tennis courts and let me have some free run time, and boy can I run. I still get a little rambunctious, especially playing tug. I'll need someone who will play gently with me and will continue working on my obedience lessons. I am getting real good at going into my crate for naps - I even go in there on my own sometimes!
