Jake is the cutest little 2 year old Boston Terrier mix! He came into rescue from Texas where he had ended up at a high kill shelter in horrific condition. A dog that has clearly been suffering for a very long time. We stepped in immediately and had Jake pulled out of the shelter and transported to our SA Vet Partner where he will get all the medical care he needs. Jakes eyes are in grave condition with corneal damage, he has a severe case of mange and secondary skin infection, cuts and gashes all over his body, his leg has a very deep ulceration, and he is emaciated and extremely weak. We keep telling Jake to keep fighting because now he is in the best hands and on his way to the brightest future ever! Soon we will have all of his numerous ailments treated and he will be ready to start his new life. Are you the special someone who can smother this precious boy with all the love and happiness that he has not known yet?! Jake is absolutely adorable now...can you imagine how cute he will be when we get his eyes and skin all fixed up? He will be irresistible! He is a sweetie pie who is friendly with people of all ages, other dogs, and he even gets along with feline friends! He will be neutered and up to date on vaccines prior to placement in his forever home. If you would like to be the lucky one that gets to give Jake his happy ever after, please fill out an adoption application here: http://www.rescuedogsrocknyc.org/general-application
