Blake is a deaf Bull Terrier-Collie mix who was saved at 5 weeks old
from Scioto County Dog Pound in Ohio after the shelter gassed his mother to death and had planned on euthanizing Blake also.
(Scioto Pound no longer gasses dogs they use humane euthanasia)

Blake turned a year old in November of 2004
Blake knows signs for "sit", "lay", "no", "give me paw" " give kisses" ,"stay" and many other signs
Blake is a very intelligent little guy who will watch you for his signs so he knows what you want him to do.

Blake has advanced to sign sentences and multiple sign commands and will go out and round up
the other deaf dogs and puppies when we ask him to

Blake is the official puppy sitter at his foster home. He teaches new incoming dogs and puppies how to have fun &
play nicely with other dogs and to play with dog toys with his favorite game, "tug of war"

Blake is housebroken and has excellent house manners.
Blake is never crated here in rescue now that's he's grown into a well behaved young man!

He loves to play catch with his stuffy toys and is getting really good at catching and he also loves to play tug of war with humans or other dogs.
He and our Blind Rescue Great Dane Zeus love to play tug of war together with their figure eight rope toy.!
