| Jake's Story -
Jake
was an owner surrender along with his brother Loder (See
his happy tail on the main page). His family didn't have
the time to work with them so they handed them over to
Las Vegas Labrador Rescue. I had been in contact with
Lori for about a week when I we went out to do the home
visit. After an awesome check, we finalized the
adoption. That weekend, her and her husband drove to
Barstow to meet his foster mom, Andrea and took their
King Jake home!
After the loss of our 16yr. old Black Lab, life was
just not the same without a loving dog around. So I
started looking around for a new family dog, when I
came upon the LVLR website and then I emailed Lisa
with my interest in a new Lab, I was looking for a
yellow Lab and Lisa informed me that there was two
10 month old yellow Labs coming available but one
was already spoken for so Lisa sent me pictures of
Jake AKA Kenickie who was the one available, so to
say the least I was very excited. We had the home
visit and everything went well. Then a week or so
later my husband and I took a trip to Barstow to
pick up our beloved Jake from his foster parents.
When we pulled up and saw this puppy dog in the back
of the car it was truly love at first site, my
husband right away said Aww! Look how cute he is.
He is so loveable and he loves to play especially
with his Frisbee, I think that is his favorite toy.
I am very lucky that Jake & I get to spend a lot of
time together, we go to the park everyday and go for
long walks he loves to walk, he is also a very good
about going for rides in the car. Jake is enrolled
in a training class and is totally a model student
the trainer always uses him to set the example, and
I just sit there being a very proud parent :) Jake
has truly brought life back to our family and we are
very blessed to have such a wonderful dog. We would
like to thank Lisa at LVLR and to Andrea for
bringing Jake to meet us in Barstow. Thanks again
to both of you.
Bill & Lori
