"My husband Adam arrived home to find this dog sitting in the spot where he always parks his truck. It was as if the dog had been waiting on him!" That day in 2007 also happened to be Jennifer and Adam's anniversary. They had no idea what a special anniversary gift he would turn out to be. 

 

After determining he had been intentionally abandoned, the Coles adopted him and he became Jake, their beloved family dog. From sunup to sundown, he filled their home with his constant loyal presence and his sweet nature. He especially loved their twin girls. Several years ago, the Cole family lost Jake in a tragic accident. The void he left in their home was the first of many markers in her life that paved the way for Jennifer to discover her new calling to rescue, restore, and rehome dogs in distress.

 

When Jennifer decided to name "Jake's House of Animal Rescue"  and "Jakeís K9 Retreat" after Jake, it wasn't just because of how deeply he was missed or how much he meant to her. He truly embodied the beautiful image of a rescued dog perfectly completing a family. He also LOVED the great outdoors.

 

At Jake's K9 Retreat, our goal is for your beloved dog to experience a carefree and safe environment in a natural setting with acres of property to run and play. Just like Jake.
