Blake is a small 14½ year old Black show type Cocker, who ugently needs a foster home. He is completely deaf and is almost blind (he can see shadows). He has had bad hips all his life and he can struggle a bit in bad weather. He is very good with the young child that he lives with and he used to live with another dog until two years ago. He has met cats and rabbits and is more curious than anything else. He still pulls a little on the lead, but he cant be let off lead due to his deafness. He travels well in the car and he is quite a sprightly dog! Blake needs a nice secure garden and someone to snuggle upto in the evening. He needs a new home as his owners are moving into rented accommodation

Jings what a poor old soul :luv:

poor old Blake. I hope he finds somewhere soon :luv:

:'(
Hope Blake finds a forever home to enjoy his retirement very soon :luv: :luv:

Poor old boy :'(
My Josh was deaf and almost blind when he was a bit older than Blake and I'm sure he would have found it incredibly difficult and distressing to have to adapt to a new home and new people. Josh was still going out for short walks and was quite lively and was pain free, but he couldn't cope with furniture being moved in the house and sometimes got lost down the bottom of the garden and needed to be rescued.
I hope Blake finds the perfect retirement home soon with someone who understands his needs and has lots of time to cuddle him on their sofa.

Oh bless his heart! How awful that his owners couldn't have found anywhere where he was welcome too :'( Poor boy must be lost :'(
-
Bless him ..hope someone can find a little space in their heart for Blake very soon :luv:

It breaks your heart. Kennels is really no place for him at his age. As we will be at CAESSR tomorrow I'm tempted to go and see him but I don't know whether bringing two dogs home is a good idea.
-
Oh doG. :'( Hopefully he's such a shame he'll be rehomed very quickly. Otherwise I'll have to divorce OH and do it myself. Where is CAESAR?

Caesar is based in the Midlands. :D

Their kennels are in Cheadle, Staffs - near Alton Park if you're that way inclined.
-
Sorry, brain failure, that should have said Alton Towers.
-
Bless him. Will have to stop looking at these threads as they make me :'(

Does anyone know if he's still waiting for a home? Did you see him John51? I'd just hate to see one of my cockers in his position. Trouble is he's uninsurable and there'll probably be quite hefty vet bills. Very tempted 'though.
-
So not fair on him :'(
I hope he get a home soon

Not sure about every rescue & each individual case but sometimes healthcare costs are met by the rescue when a condition is diognosed before rehoming. Hope someone who knows for sure will come along soon, otherwise it could be worth asking the rescue themselves.
He is rather special isn't he & so deserve some gentle love & TLC in his twilight years :luv:
-
oh lordy... I really hope he finds a loving forever home soon :'(

The rescue may be prepared to pay Blake's vet bills.
On the same page there is Katie who is diabetic and they are paying for her medicine so it is certainly worth asking the rescue.
I keep looking at him too and though I would be willing to have him, realistically I know my home is not the ideal one for him as my girls are still young and lively. :'(

Fingers crossed, good news for Blake. He should be in a home on Wednesday. (Rescue said they would probably pay vet bills due to his age) :blink:.

That is fantastic news. :banana: :banana:
Is the new home with you?
-
No, not with me. I phoned them for more info. It would have meant I couldn't foster for a while if he'd come here. Rescue said if this rehoming falls through they'd contact me. Either way, he's sorted. :blink:

So pleased that by tomorrow (hopefully) he will be in a new home. :luv:
