"Jake came to us as a typical beagle. A happy food-oriented boy, but in good condition, with a love for cuddles, toys, and playing," shelter worker Carrie Thatcher told Newsweek.

The sweet dog quickly got adopted, but his new home wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

Jake's new owner was caught on camera forcibly pushing him up the stairs.

After seeing the disturbing footage, Last Chance Animal Rescue said that they didn't hesitate.

"We wasted no time in going to collect him from this home," Thatcher said, adding that the shelter "received a text message of him admitting fault and making excuses as to why Jake deserved it."

Poor Jake returned to the shelter, terrified and traumatized.

The next adoption attempt went well, thanks to the patience of Jake's new owner – unfortunately, this attempt ended tragically.

Time and trauma have taken their toll on Jake

After just one month in his new home, Jake's new owner suffered a heart attack and was no longer able to look after the dog, so Jake ended up back at his shelter.

Time and trauma have left their mark on the eight-year-old male dog.

Jake has lost his eyesight and needs two shots a day to treat his diabetes.

"Taking on a dog with severe trust and behavioral issues, as well as a medical condition, is a huge ask," admits Thatcher.

Despite everything, she remains optimistic and convinced: "The right home is out there for Jake, and, once he has found it, he will finally get the love he deserves."
