Three-legged dog up for adoption after a rough start in life
Chief is a 6-year-old dog looking for his forever home. He was mistakenly thought to be a wild animal In Louisiana — and shot in the back leg. Now in New Jersey, the shepherd mix is ready to find a loving home.
A snuggly and enthusiastic 2-year-old pup is sure to melt the heart of anyone who welcomes him into a new home.
Blake, a bulldog and Labrador mix, is up for adoption at the City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue in Washington, D.C.
This peppy pup is full of energy and easy to entertain.
"He loves chewy toys, bones and kongs and is up for any form of physical activity," his rescue told Fox News Digital.
The 54-pound pooch would thrive in an active home because he enjoys going on walks and loves to explore, the rescue said.
Blake is the "life of the party" with people and other dogs. He is nervous with children, so a home with adults would suit him best, the rescue noted.

This "velcro dog" will want to be by his new owner's side 24/7.
Blake is the perfect furry friend for those in need of a "telework companion," City Dogs and City Kitties Rescue said.

The bulldog and Labrador mix is described as being goofy, affectionate, eager to please and loyal — "the perfect combination of snuggles and enthusiasm," the shelter said.

Blake is still getting used to being alone and will need some help in building his confidence when left alone.
This "energizer bunny" is very smart and is already picking up new commands such as "sit" and "down."
He can even chase a ball, but he is still working on the return part, the rescue notes.

He loves being surrounded by other furry friends, but he is still learning how to greet other pups when on a leash, it also noted.

While Blake may seem shy at first, the rescue said he starts to warm up to people once he gets comfortable.
