Hello! If you are reading this page you must have read Jake's tag!

Jake has a website on his tag, because he has special needs. If you have found him, please make your best efforts to contact me, NO MATTER WHAT TIME IT IS! I am probably very concerned!

If you have been unable to reach me by the listed phone number on Jake's tag, please leave a message with your number on it. I will return your call as quickly as I possibly can! I may be doing something without my phone, or it might be charging.

If you have only found Jake's tag, and not him, you can call me, and I will gladly pay postage to have the tag returned.

Jake is on a SPECIAL DIET.
However, if you feel you MUST feed him while he is with you, he can have the following "people foods":
-- Rice
-- Beef
-- Pork
-- Potatoes
-- Eggs
-- Cheese (as a treat, very small quantities only)
Jake should not be given bones, treats or rawhide of anykind. Jake cannot have bread. Jake cannot have dog food (even canned) because the main ingredient is almost always wheat or oats. Jake cannot have either. He cannot have peas, or brewer's yeast. So NO COMMERCIAL DOG FOOD!

When I can't get Jake's special diet, I often mix ground beef with plain white rice (BOTH COOKED!). Jake gets about a cup of each in this case.

Thank you for reading, for your kindness, and I hope I get my dog back soon! He's got medications to take, so this is very important. :)
