Story: Blaze was saved from the euthanasia list at OKCAW

Meet Blaze! Blaze was saved from euthanasia at a city shelter, then it was discovered that he was heartworm positive. After taking some time to heal and complete his treatment, this boy is finally ready to find his forever home! Blaze is a smart, independent guy with a little mischievous streak! Leave your shoes and socks unattended, and he might just decide they belong to him. He’s very food motivated & eager to learn, which makes him a great candidate for someone willing to continue training with him!

He absolutely LOVES baths and is a total angel in the car. He’s also completely potty trained, crate trained, and sleeps in his crate all night. He can be vocal when crated though, and would likely thrive in a home where crating isn’t a long-term necessity. He’ll need someone committed to providing consistent structure and routine before giving him more freedom around the house. Blaze is a strong guy on the leash and will need someone willing to work with him on his leash manners. He can also be reactive toward other dogs in the home, so slow, calm introductions are important. We think he would thrive as the only dog in the home where he can soak up all the attention!

When Blaze gets overexcited, he tends to get mouthy/bitey. While this isn’t aggressive at all, it can be too much for little ones, & he’s still working on learning better ways to manage his excitement, because of this, he needs a home without young children! Blaze has already overcome so much, and now he deserves a family who will give him the patience, structure, and consistency he needs to keep growing & blooming!
