Jake Sully’s story: Jake Sully was a stray who was turned into the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center in April. He was in bad shape: severely overweight, overgrown toenails that were so bad they were turning outward to the sides of his feet, front feet whose carpal ligaments had dropped (usually the result of a lack of exercise), and teeth so worn it appeared as if he had been chewing on wire. But he’s doing great now. A volunteer favorite, Sully gets lots of walks, play time and love every day. The nonprofit Dedicated Animal Welfare Group paid for a full senior blood panel and dental exam. He would be an easy addition to nearly any home; he’s laid back and easy going – but he’s still got plenty of spunk and is ready to play. This boy loves his toys, too.

Adoption fee: Senior dogs can linger in shelters for a long time; DAWG has agreed to pay most of Jake Sully’s adoption fee to help him get to the home he so deserves. His approved adopter will pay just $20.

Adoption procedure: Application and screening of potential adopters is required to ensure they are the right fit for Jake Sully. Visit him at the Mission Viejo Animal Services Center, 28095 Hillcrest, Mission Viejo; call 949-470-3045; or email [email protected].
