3/29 Still available!
2/22 This handsome boy is Blaze. He was rescued in February 2025 from a litter of 10 born under an abandoned house/shed. Animal Control picked up the sire and mother dog and 9 of the pups. They were all euthanized the same day. Not because they did anything wrong, but because the shelter was full. Blaze was the only one rescued. He has been fostered in a home since his rescue. He has socialized with the teenage boys in the neighborhood and interacted with them playing ball as a puppy. He has been taught to sit on command and fetch his ball. He resides in a kennel on the patio and has a fenced backyard for exercise. He gets along well with the small Yorkshire terrier in the adjacent fenced yard. Blaze has had minimal leash training due to his strength. He is really just too strong for his foster to have good control of him. He is familiar with a harness and leash, he just needs some training to not pull and to be more gentle. Blaze loves to play ball and chase squirrels and birds out of the yard. This young, sweet boy desperately wants affection and training. He is smart and eager to learn, he just hasnt been given many opportunities so far. He responds exceptionally well to any affection offered to him. He would crawl in your lap and snuggle you for hours if allowed to. He is moderately energetic and craves mental stimulation. He would do best with an active family who will give him the physical and mental stimulation he needs. We believe he would love kids, but he would probably be best with older, sturdy kids, only because he doesn't know his size and strength and could easily knock over a little one. Blaze is 1 year old and weighs 62 lbs. He may still grow a little more, but probably won't exceed 75 lbs once mature. He really just needs a chance. In the right hands, Blaze will be an incredible dog. We do not know his breed for sure. He is likely a mix of many breeds.
He is neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.
Blaze is located in Arkansas. He can be adopted locally, but transport is available to the New England area as well. Adopter must be able to pick up or arrange for someone to pick up for them in PA, NY, or CT on Saturdays.
