Meet Blaze! This 5-year-old heartthrob is rocking one gorgeous blue eye, eye-catching markings, and a personality as sweet as his sit (which he'll happily show off for a treat). Blaze is full of charm, and just the right amount of goofy.
He knows how to "sit" and is working on his leash skills, with just occasional moments of excitement that lead to some pulling. He's curious about the world, and yes, he sees that squirrel, but he's easily redirected and happy to keep strutting by your side. He's working on his leash skills and can be a little bouncy when he's excited, but with some consistency (and snacks), he'll be golden.
Handsome Blaze had a fun and cozy slumber party weekend with a volunteer, filled with walks, playtime with toys, and plenty of snuggles. While the volunteer worked from home, Blaze settled comfortably on the couch, happy to keep them company. He's incredibly food- and treat-motivated, performing a perfect sit in exchange for a reward. During his stay, Blaze began learning house rules and showed he's completely housebroken, going to the door when he needed to go outside.
Blaze absolutely adored belly rubs and being pet, often insisting on affection by forcing his head under your arm or stretching out on your lap for belly rubs-it's adorable, but he makes it clear that belly rubs aren't optional! At night, he loved to snuggle up close, always wanting to be touching you as he slept. Although a little nervous as he settled into the new environment, Blaze's heart of gold shone through.
Blaze has met other dogs at the shelter, he does best with tolerant and socially savvy friends. He will need to meet any potential doggie roommates to make sure they are a good match. He is eligible to come back to BARCS for social sessions.
If you're looking for a cuddle monster with a playful streak and a whole lot of love to give, Blaze might just be your guy. Come down to BARCS and meet your new best friend!
