About this Dog
Blakey may take a little time to warm up, but once he does, he’s a total lap (or chair!) buddy who loves to be near his person. This sweet guy was an owner surrender due to their declining health—he came from a home with 11 dogs. Rescues stepped in and found homes for 9, and now it’s Blakey's turn for a fresh start. He’s shy at first and might act a little tough until he feels safe, but don’t let that fool you—Blakey has a gentle heart. Treats are the key to his affection, and with a little patience, he’ll be your shadow in no time. Blakey loves the outdoors and enjoys his walks. He’s not a high-energy dog, but he’ll play a bit when the mood strikes. He’s incredibly thoughtful—he won’t eat until he’s sure all the other dogs have been fed. He can get a little jealous when other dogs are getting attention and may growl if they’re playing near him, so a calm home or experienced dog-savvy owner would be ideal. Blakey hasn't been around kids, so a quieter, adult-only home or one with older, respectful children would be best. He thrives in a home where someone is around more often than not, and slow introductions—both to people and other pets—are the way to his heart. If you’re looking for a devoted companion who just needs a little time and love to shine, Blakey is ready to give you his whole heart. Blakey is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.

Adopt Blakey and Receive Blakey's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Blakey's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Blakey's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Blakey, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Blakey's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Blakey was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Blakey’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Blakey’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Blakey’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
