Blaze

Blaze is a 3 year-old, 55-pound Lab mix with two modes: Mode 1: “Let’s PLAY!” and Mode 2: “I shall now be your guardian angel while you relax.” There is very little in between.

This handsome guy came to us as a stray, so he can be a little shy at first. But give him a minute — once he decides you’re his person, it’s game over. You will have a loyal shadow, professional foot-warmer, and full-time best friend.  Blaze would do best with another canine friend as he is a very social boy with a good amount of energy.

Blaze loves:

• A good game of fetch
• Chew bones (the more the better to occupy his brilliant mind)
• People and other canine friends — the more the merrier
• Sleeping dramatically at his foster dad’s doorway like a devoted knight

Blaze is inquisitive and curious about the world. Occasionally, he may test whether your shoe is secretly a chew toy (he’s still refining his classification system), but he’s learning quickly. In his defense, he does not jump on furniture and he’s too short to counter surf — so honestly? We’ll call that a win.

He walks beautifully on leash and enjoys exploring new places with his human. He’s not fond of the crate but he’s also showing that he can be trusted outside the crate. At night, he prefers to position himself near you — because obviously guarding the kingdom (you) is serious business.

Blaze enjoys people and other dogs but cats are an unknown.
