Each week, the Independent highlights an animal available for adoption at Baypath Humane Society in Hopkinton. This week’s adoptable animal is 1-year-old John Jacob.

Here is Baypath’s description of John Jacob:

“We all know the famous song, ‘John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt, he wants to be your pet too!’ OK, well, John Jacob may have made that version up himself … but it’s true! This handsome young adult is looking for a new family, and he’s hoping it’s you!

“This handsome, brindle boy came up from the South in hopes of finding a new home. In the meantime, he’s keeping busy by playing with dog friends or going on adventures with volunteers! John Jacob loves to walk or play with squeaky toys. Whatever you want to do, John Jacobs is happy to do it with you!”
