We'd love for you to meet Blake!
Blake is a very smart boy who we can proudly say has graduated from obedience training!
We cannot say thank you enough to Patty L. Pampered Pets for their partnership and the change their classes and guidance have made in Blake's behavior.
He has mastered sit, stay, down, wait, leave it and walk. Blake has learned not to jump on people, how to walk calmly on a leash without pulling and more importantly, he has learned how to LISTEN!
Personality: Fun Loving, adventurous, athletic, and energetic! (He really is a great boy.)
Backstory: Blake came into us as a stray. He knew a few commands (sit and down) so it was clear he had been in a home, but was never claimed.
We would say Blake was our wild child. Walking him to and from his patio to the play runs was always an adventure. He would jump excitedly with the anticipation of running and would bark loudly to make sure you understood just how happy he was for his time spent outside!
Everyone knew to wrap that leash around your wrist, dig your heals into the grass and hold on for dear life to avoid being dragged behind him or losing your balance.
Sometimes he would manage to get away from us and would gleefully (he would grin..seriously..not joking) run back and forth along all of the runs to say "HI FRIENDS!" to all of our other dogs out in other runs.
Thank you to Lyn (one of our wonderful volunteers) who loves his spirit but knew something had to change so he could find his forever home. She took him to obedience classes and with the help of volunteer Cassandra and staff member Dan continued his training on-site. Dan also took Blake home for "overnights" to further his training.
He will need a home with a 6 ft privacy fence.
Blake does like other dogs! As with all of our adoptables, a meet n greet is required with all family members, furry and not so furry to make sure it is a great fit.
Blake is an absolute catch, he will need an experienced dog owner who will commit to continue working with Blake to make sure he maintains everything he has learned. This will give Blake the happy home he deserves.
Blake is on-site at our rescue in DeSoto, Iowa. If you are interested in meeting Blake, please fill out an adoption application on our website.
