His Story: Blake was brought home as a 12 week old pup to live with 2 brothers in a flat in London. They loved him dearly, but were evicted last week and had to give him up.
Salient points: Blake is 75% German Shepherd and 25% Rottie. Sheltered upbringing living in a flat without a garden. Good with older children and most people, but can get nervous soon settles. Needs fairly quiet household. Needs gentle introductions on walks and he soon settles.
Advert: Blake has the rich colouring of his Rottie lineage and the shape and temperament of a Shepherd. Walks nicely on the lead and used to London Park walks, but owner kept him away from dogs and always walked him on a muzzle as he can demonstrate fear reactions. His owner played it safe since he was attacked as a pup. He is settling well around dogs in the kennels and doing shared walks very well. A favourite of the staff and went down really well in the vets. He gives off a gentle, vulnerable air. Blake could live with another confident dog or as a only dog. He is housetrained, used to being left and non destructive.
Blake is a loving and gentle dog who can be nervous of 'new', but usually settles very quickly. At worst gives a couple of 'warning barks' moving forwards. Blake has already built his confidence. He is for the first time enjoying the free running in the paddocks of the kennels. He needs dog experienced owners who will find he comes on really well and will see a different 'sure' dog in 3 months post homing. A foster place would obviously help tremendously if with other role model dogs. Blake has head turning qualities and needs the 'right' family who will truly adore him and all he is.
Please visit Blake's dog's individual thread, in Dogs needing homes in our care on this forum to find out more about him and follow his progress.
If you are interested in re-homing please complete our homing questionnaire so we can ensure our dogs are matched and will suit your circumstances/lifestyle.
"Please note that this dog is currently in kennels and is also available for foster until a 'forever' home is found".
