Here's what the humans have to say about me:
"Blaze" is an approx 66-lb, 1½-yo (born 8-13-17) neutered male GSD mix who is friendly, playful and outgoing. Blaze is 75% GSD & 25% Husky.
Blaze is friendly with strangers but alarm-barks appropriately. Blaze loves kids but due to his propensity to jump up on people who don't convey authority, I would recommend a family with no children under 10 yrs of age. Blaze does take treats very gently from hand and has no food-aggression.
Blaze is fine with other dogs and grew up with his sister Diamond (see her post on Adoptapet.com as well). I'm not sure how Blaze is with little dogs so I'd be cautious in placing him in a home w/ a little dog.
Blaze is definitely not good with cats.
Blaze is fully housetrained and has never had an accident in his foster home. He's quite mellow when inside but he often stays outside (he has access via a dog door), probably because he was raised as an outdoor dog primarily.
Blaze has not received any formal obedience training, but is fairly obedient nonetheless. He does tend to jump up on people when he first meets them (if they let him), so he'll need a little work in that area. Blaze tends to pull a bit on leash but he does much better when wearing a harness.
Blaze hasn't traveled much in a vehicle so is initially timid of getting in. Once inside, he's fine and enjoys the ride.
Blaze likes playing with toys--especially tug-of-war with rope toys.
Blaze's owner Lily raised him (along w/ his sister Diamond) since he was six weeks of age. She loves Blaze but had to move to a house with a much smaller yard and simply did not have the time to spend with him & Diamond that she knew they deserve. GSRSV took Blaze & Diamond in on 9-16-18.
Blaze is located in a foster home in Lincoln. His adoption fee is $210.
