Kaine has been with me since he was a puppy. Very active energetic dog but I have not been able to put enough activity time in with him due to work and new single mom. He is up to date on shots, heartworm and rabies. Have proof to show. He is potty trained for where we live, may need some training in new home. He does bark. He knows how to be in the crate but he does not like it, he loves the bed, my bed!! He loves to PLAY!! Very energetic. He’d be a great addition to any family, would really be good for a single man.

Story
Zuko is a people-loving big boy who’s looking for an active family to call his own. He’s about 3 years old and weighs about 91 pounds.After being found stray on the streets of New Orleans, Zuko had the good fortune of landing in a wonderful foster home where he has learned manners and the joy of being in a home. Zuko’s foster mom says “he loves people, loves to play with tennis balls, and he LOVES ice as a treat! He is very food motivated and smart, so he is quick to pick up tricks and commands. He has graduated training classes and has mastered Sit, Wait, Leave it (ignore), Walk forward, Turn, and Heel.” While well mannered and trainable Zuko is VERY excitable and needs someone with large breed knowledge and the ability to continue his training. Zuko is a big STRONG guy and would probably do best as an only pet in the home. He is kennel trained, neutered, up to date on all his vetting and preventives, and ready for his forever family to bring him home. If you have the time and the patience to continue Zuko’s training and would like to give him a forever home please fill out an application.Zuko is currently in foster care outside of the shelter. If you are interested in learning more or meeting him, please complete an adoption survey using the link below (copy and paste link):https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1wOteS8GPhRFQjae4v6KbH4QX_AqvQffhmQX8LZmUijI/editAll dogs and cats will be spayed/neutered, up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations, preventative care, and microchipped.

Story
🐶 Blaze Needs His Forever Home! 🐶 Meet Blaze, a 4-month-old male Boxer bursting with love and energy! This sweet boy is ready to be your loyal companion and bring joy to your life. Here’s the scoop on Blaze: ✅ House trained? Pretty good with puppy pads, but he’s got a few favorite spots (we’re working on it!). Loves going potty outside and knows “go potty” means it’s time to head out. ✅ Dog friendly? 100%! He’s a playful pal to other pups. ✅ Kid friendly? Not sure yet, but he LOVES every human he meets—especially guys! ✅ Training? Knows his name, responds to “go potty,” and is learning sit and stay. ✅ Personality? VERY, VERY snuggly and craves ALL the attention. He’ll even interrupt cuddles with other pets to steal the spotlight! ⚡️ Energy level? Through the roof! Blaze is a high-energy pup who loves to play, chew on toys and even makes his 7-year-old Boxer buddy act like a puppy again. 🚗 Car rides? Big fan! His first ride, he climbed on like a cat for cuddles. 🐾 Leash? No issues so far—walks like a champ. ❤️ Special trait? Blaze is super intuitive, cuddling up when you’re feeling down to lift your spirits. To adopt Blaze, please submit an application at: lickingforlove.org/adopt
