Blankie was surrendered to us because his family was moving to an apartment and could not bring Blankie with them. Blankie grew up with a 4 year old and he has proved to be a somewhat gentle giant but still acts like a puppy at times. If he were to go to a family with kids they will be required to meet Blankie before we can approve and adoption. Furthermore, Blankie will need a home with access to a medium to large sized yard so he can stretch his very long legs (also 6' secure fencing is a must). Blankie grew up as the only animal in the household, however we have carefully socialized him with dogs here at the shelter. We believe he prefers female dogs that can handle him playing rough and rowdy but don't try to overcorrect him.

Blankie is extremely sweet and affectionate, he loves being pet and getting scritches once he has done a patrol of the play yard. He will need a minimum of 45 mins-1 hr of exercise everyday. He is a very strong boy and will need a strong owner as well as someone patient enough to put some work into training him. Blankie was kept as a backyard dog so he will need to be acclimated to being in a home with a family as well as will need to be potty trained.

Blankie LOOOOOOOVES WATER and can frequently be found playing and sliding around in a kiddie pool in our play yard. He would prefer an adopter who is willing to provide this water time for him rather than someone who would try to break him and water up.
