My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Blaze is an 8–12 month old Labrador mix bursting with energy, personality, and endless love to give. This goofy, tail-wagging guy wants nothing more than to be by your side. He already knows sit and down, but sometimes his excitement takes the wheel — he’s still a puppy at heart! With consistent training, patience, and plenty of positive reinforcement, Blaze will blossom into the polite, confident companion he’s destined to be.

This sweet boy may sometimes show submissive urination when greeting new friends — totally normal for young, eager pups — and it should improve as he feels more secure. He absolutely loves other dogs, though he tends to introduce himself like a kid running full speed into recess. With slow, supervised meet-and-greets, he could thrive with a canine buddy. Blaze is currently fostering with a well matched resident dog in his foster home and they are great buddies!

Blaze is a very enthusiastic eater and came to us a little grabby with food, so he’ll need an owner to continue to help him build good habits. Hand-feeding sessions, working for his meals, and offering lots of trades will help him learn impulse control and grow his confidence. He has had great success in his foster with no issues so he is well on his way! In his new home, feeding time should be structured to prevent any resource-guarding before it starts — setting him up for success from day one as his foster has already been doing.

His love of food also makes him highly trainable! He is food motivated and is so happy to learn new skills with reward positive based methods.

Blaze is active, smart, and always ready for a challenge. He’ll shine with daily mental and physical outlets — think enrichment toys, brain games, training sessions, and outdoor adventures galore.

If you have the energy, patience, and commitment to guide this bright young pup, Blaze could be your perfect adventure partner. Give him structure, love, and fun, and he’ll give you his whole heart in return. Please complete an adoption application:
