This week’s adoptable running dog Jake, currently waiting for his forever home at PAWS, is an energetic Lab-Terrier puppy who is just too freakin’ cute for words. So, I’ll let the pictures below do the talking.
Name: Jake
Age: 6 to 12 months
Weight: 40 pounds
Breed: Lab-Terrier mix
Size: 40 pounds
Background: Jake was dropped off at the city’s animal control shelter by a member of the public, then rescued by PAWS.

Running style: Jake is very much a puppy, so he does fast sprints and makes lots of stops to investigate the sights and sounds of the city. Since he is a puppy, he hasn’t worked up to long, hard runs quite yet.
Why Jake is awesome: Jake loves meeting people. He greets everyone enthusiastically, so he’ll need to learn better manners. He is smart and knows several commands and he also seems to be house-trained. He is interested in other dogs and might be able to live with cats. If you’re looking for a buddy, Jake would ensure that you’re happy all day, every day.

We work with The Monster Milers each and every week to profile local running dogs waiting to be adopted. The Monster Milers are a group of runners who help shelter dogs burn off energy and get much-needed exercise by taking them on runs around the city, and they also just launched their first-of-it’s-kind Adopt a Running Buddy foster program. If you’re not in the market for a pup right now, but would still love to help out homeless dogs, you can always become a Monster Miler volunteer or foster parent. Find out more about how to get started with those processes here.
