In October 2016, Blake was picked up as a stray by Jackson County Animal Care & Control Center in Phoenix, Oregon. Two weeks after his arrival, SDF Canine Recruiter Kirsten Fulk visited the shelter, seeking high-energy dogs to evaluate for SDF. She did not see any on the main adoption floor, so she asked the front desk if they had any dogs in the back. They allowed Kirsten to have a look and quickly, she spotted the two-year-old Chocolate Labrador paying her close attention. Sweet and lovable, Blake is thorough and linear on his Rubble Search and has come a long way in his Agility.
Blake was paired with Mike Brice of San Diego Fire-Rescue at our Graduation Ceremony on April 27.
