Yesterday, while I was working out of town, my 1 year old lab male Jake was discovered missing from my residence near the Huntsville Road area. The rear gate to my yard which is seldom used was discovered partly open which tends to make me think he may have had a little help escaping. Prior to yesterday, I have not encountered a problem with him running off.

I have checked with neighbors and the animal control authorities, without success of locating him. I would love to have him back, since he has provided me a lot of comfort during and since my mom’s passing and I really miss him. Jake is very friendly and would take up with most anyone. Jake has some identifying features with photographs to support them.

If anyone should contact him, please detain him and send me a PM with your contact information.

Had I not had to drive to Talladege yesterday, I would have taken with me as I sometimes do. I have check with the shelters, call him by name, even contacted the PD in case, they came across him, as we had previously met several of the officers, when I was out working/playing with him.

They really thought it was funny when I left him in my truck to run into a store for a beverage or restroom break, as if I was gone longer than Jake thought I should be, he would start blowing the horn until I returned. He would also known to be a music critic and would change the radio dial if he didn't like the music, close or open AC/heat vents; as well as stare down drivers at redlights.

As you see Jake was quite a character. When he was just a pup, he almost cause a divorce as there were several days/nights when we shared the "dog house" together because of something he, we or I did.

Jake sounds like a wonderful pet. I hope you find him soon.
I hate to hear about your dog, we live in Franklin County in the rural area and someone came into our yard Thursday evening and killed my puppy that we had rescued. They also cut the extension cords for my husband's decorations and slashed some of the inflatables. We found empty beer bottles in the yard as well as an empty cigarette pack. My puppy was afraid of strangers so I know he would not have gone up to them. There was a baseball in the yard and I am assuming that they hit him in the head with it. My other 2 dogs and cats were not hurt. It hurts to lose a beloved pet. I hope that you find yours

You are so very welcome!! We couldn't believe he was right in front of our house this afternoon and answered when we called his name...we knew it had to be him. We are all so happy to have helped get him back home. My kids had a blast playing with him!! Happy endings are great!!
