About Blake

Adoption Fee: $50
Pit Bull / Lab
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

Blake appears to be a labrador/pit mix. I got him from the Humane Society about 1 year ago. While he is well-behaved and affectionate toward his master, he can sometimes sneak up on other people and bite hard enough to bruise and scratch them. He needs a lot of space--at least one securely fenced acre-- and patience, and quite probably the (very expensive) services of a veterinary animal behaviorist. I have been advised by several veterinarians that 'obedience training,' 'boot camp,' and old-school dominance-based, aversive training methods (prong collars, e- collars, etc.) may exacerbate his aggression and reactivity. I think his problems are solvable by someone with sufficient resources and determination. Unfortunately, I must admit I can not be that person. I am not trying to make money out of this bad situation; rescueme advises asking a fee to screen out dilettants and people who cannot afford a pet. I will only surrender Blake to someone experienced with pitbulls, no children, and a decent-sized, securely fenced property.
