About Blake

Blake is a gentle little Yorkshire Terrier still wearing his messy shelter hair, but underneath it all, he’s simply waiting for a fresh start. At just 2 years old and about 13 pounds, Blake finds the shelter environment overwhelming. He’s sweet-natured and quiet, but the noise and bustle make him uncertain and cautious. Blake is the kind of dog who needs time, empathy, and space to build trust. A proper grooming will certainly help, but what he really longs for is the comfort of a patient home where he can finally exhale. Blake would do best with someone willing to let him move at his own pace and show him kindness as he figures things out. He’s bonded to his sister Gwen, who’s also available for adoption. Blake currently waits in Gainesville, TX, but transportation across the U.S. is available, and out-of-state adopters can schedule a FaceTime meet-and-greet if interested. Born May 18, Blake is a Taurus—known for their loyal and steady nature. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
