About Blake

Blake is a stunning shepherd mix who turns heads the moment he steps out of his kennel. This large, handsome boy combines beauty with brains—he walks nicely on a leash and loves to stroll alongside his humans. Friendly and upbeat, Blake enjoys greeting newcomers and has a playful side, especially with his favorite squeaky toys. He can get a bit grabby with snacks and treats, showing his excitement, but it’s important to note that he tends to react to other dogs during walks. If he encounters them up close, he tries to herd and nip, so he may thrive best as an only pet. Though he might get along with a calm, large dog given a slow, monitored introduction, Blake is not suited for a home with cats. He is 4 years old, neutered, and his vaccinations are up to date. Blake is looking for someone patient and understanding who will give him the environment he needs to succeed. Does Blake sound like the right companion for you?
