If you're looking for a young dog ready to take on life's adventures with you, then 8-month-old Jake might be your match.

Jake was found as a stray in Elizabeth and brought to the local animal shelter and since has gone through a board-and-train program where he learned all his perfect manners.

Now, this redbone coonhound-mix puppy is ready for adoption through Best Friend Dog and Animal Adoption.

Jake is happiest when he is with his family and making new friends. He is great with other dogs.

While he is good with children, rescuers recommend placing him with older children due to his exuberant puppy energy.

If you think Jake might be the pup for you, you can apply on Best Friend's website.
