| *BLAKE* IN A NUTSHELL: One year old male puppy. Friendly and social with all. | ||||||||||||||||
| We received an email from our Facebook angel, Kathy J, first thing in the morning, letting us know that this little boy was at a very overcrowded CA shelter AND on the e-list for tonight! She tried to get information from the shelter, but wasn't having much luck. Happily, we have a dear friend, Cindy, who just happens to live in the same city as the shelter and we asked if she could go over and meet the boy.
Initially, Cindy wasn't able to oblige as she had workmen at her home, but later in the afternoon we received a call from Cindy, and we could tell immediately where she was -- at the shelter!! Shelter personnel were SO happy to see someone from rescue, that they immediately had to show Cindy ANOTHER white GSD (female) that was also on the e-list for tonight, an adult female. They introduced her to Cindy first, and Cindy said she was very sweet and friendly and kenneled with THREE other dogs!! She was asleep when Cindy went to meet her, but she gladly rose from her nap to get some attention.
After asking to meet the boy, Cindy was told she would have to wait because shelter personnel were busy trying to help another rescue pick up a Golden Retriever that had been hit by a car and had 2 broken legs! Cindy was happy to wait but did inform us that, since she thought she was only coming to the shelter to MEET one dog, she had brought her car, which would be too small to take two large German shepherds. In order to take them, she would have to run home and get her truck, but Cindy didn't want to risk losing her place in line to be helped since it was getting later and later.
A quick text to our friends at Husky Camp, and they were on the road to the shelter before I could say another word and by 4pm we were receiving photos of the pickup at the shelter!
UPDATE 6/27: Blake and Cyndie headed to the vet today for their spay and neuter procedures.
 Blake lets Cyndie know that they're in this together UPDATE 6/27: Blake had his neuter surgery today and came through without complications. He will be brought to Phoenix at the first opportunity, although we'll probably wait and bring him when Cyndie is ready to make the trip in another week. UPDATE 7/8: Thanks to Chuck and Jon of Husky Camp and volunteer transporter Betty, Blake made the trip from California to Phoenix this afteroon and is settled in comfortably at his temporary foster home with one of our staff members.
UPDATE 8/22: Blake had his official kitty test this morning and did very well. He was initially interested in the cat and wanted to sniff. She allowed the sniffing to a point, and they said "NO MORE." Blake backed right off. When she went under the kitchen table, he attempted to follow, but when corrected decided it wasn't worth the effort. We think he could live successfully with a dog saavy kitty.
UPDATE 9/21: Blake was evaluated by Blake at Soldier's Best Friend this afternoon and, pending his physical, will be going into the SBF program to be paired with a veteran!
Adoption fee $365.00.
