Growing Family Gallery — we proudly introduce Blake

Sadly, we lost Beatrice in late summer 2007, and Indie and I and the cat girls were adjusting as well as could be expected. But there was just something missing! Did we dare try another adoption? Could ESRA possibly have another perfect fit for my family? The answer turned out to be a resounding “yes!” Hello, Blake! And thank you again, ESRA! (The photos including liver and white Blake were all taken within four days of his arrival! The photo in the top right was actually snapped within ONE HOUR of Blake’s introduction to Indie!)


So, this is my yard, is it?


A very familiar pose! I think I like it here!

What am I supposed to do with this?

English Springer Rescue America

We got word in early November that a bunch of Springers were coming to foster care in North Carolina from Alabama. We anxiously waited to hear more about them. Once they cleared the first inspections by the ESRA coordinators, we started studying their individual stories. We knew right away that the one they called “Houdini” wasn’t for us, and the one who wanted to be the “alpha” wouldn’t fit in. One by one, we considered their personalities—then we read about Blake. It seeemed he just might be the one for us!

Hi,

Are you looking for a handsome, strong, mellow sweet mature gentleman to be part of your life? If so I am the guy for you. I am Blake and most definitely a gentleman. I am 7 years old and eagerly seeking a forever home. I am a bit shy but I am learning that life can be great in a loving caring home. I have spent my entire life with many other dogs. I enjoy the companionship of another dog, but I would prefer a gentle soul. I could also be a spoiled single boy as well.

I have recently been neutered and received some much needed health care. I have suffered with damaged teeth and poor dental health for quite some time. My new veterinarian believes I am on the road to recovery since receiving a necessary dental. I have 4 damaged canine teeth and almost lost them all. It is hard to believe that I can be as sweet as I am after some adversity in my life. I love to sun bathe and relax on the deck at my foster home. I give great hugs and a shy little kisses.

If you have a comfy spot for me in your home, a couple of good meals a day and lots of love please complete the adoption application and ask for Blake the handsome liver and white boy in North Carolina!

I can’t wait to hear from you soon.

xoxo,
Blake
