About Blake

Lets make it official, apply to adopt! Blake is a 5-month-old neutered male Greyhound/Borzoi mix who is as intelligent as he is endearing. This sharp puppy has already mastered the 'sit' command and, like his siblings, sports the classic energy of a greyhound—he’ll thrive best in a home that offers both plenty of time and open space for running and exploring. While Blake does well with other dogs and stands out as one of the gentler pups in his litter, he’ll still need guidance in basic obedience and continued housebreaking. Blake is extremely affectionate and friendly with everyone he meets, showing a sweet, approachable personality. Homes familiar with the greyhound breed are preferred, as Blake’s needs are best suited to those who understand his energetic nature and unique quirks. He would not be happy living in an apartment, so a larger living space or a home with a yard is essential to give him room to stretch his long legs. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
