Likes: Toys, affection, cuddling, licking ears, attention, playing in the backyard, being with his people, tug of war, walks
Dislikes: Being alone, too much loud noise, being bored, not getting enough exercise/playtime
What would be the ideal home? Blaze needs a house with a fenced yard and an active household who can offer him lots of love, attention and exercise. No other pets and no small children recommended. An owner that can continue his obedience training.
Good with other cats? No as he has a prey drive
Good with dogs? No
Good with children? Unknown, but not recommended around small children as Blaze is jumpy and high-energy
Temperament: Blaze is very affectionate and gets attached to his people, he will follow everyone around the house and doesn’t like being alone. There is no personal space with Blaze, he will always want to cuddle and sleep on people’s lap while working at a table. He has his very loving side, but also a very playful side where he could play fetch all day in the backyard and loves playing tug of war. He can get very energetic and excited after walks and can get the zoomies when at home. He is very curious and wants to be involved and included in everything his people do.
Motivators? Toys, toys, and more toys! He’s less food-motivated and more into play
Any commands? Sit, lie down, shake (both paws), down, leave it, standing on his back paws (we called it look pretty), working on drop it, knows his name and will usually come if he is called
House trained? Yes (mostly)
Crate trained? No, but could benefit from it to learn to be alone
How long will it take to settle into a new environment? 3-3-3 rule: First 3 days - Your dog may be overwhelmed and may hide, have a lack of appetite, or test boundaries. Give them space and time to adjust in a quiet room with their bed, food, water, and toys. 3 weeks - Your dog may start to settle in and their personality will emerge. You can expect behavior issues to arise, so set boundaries and expectations with positive reinforcement training. 3 months - Your dog should be comfortable and acclimated to your home. They should know their routine and expect meals and enrichment at specific times.
Any special needs or traits an adopter should know? Blaze will need structure and some more training as he can get overwhelmed and stressed pretty easily. He loves me
