About Blaze

Blaze is a big-hearted Weimaraner–American Bulldog mix with an 88-pound frame and gentle eyes. Surrendered through no fault of his own, Blaze is still just a young dog trying to find his way, and life hasn’t always been kind so far. In the shelter, he’s unsure and a bit scared, but when he feels safe, he melts with a sweetness that makes you want to protect him. He isn’t accustomed to being around other dogs and is looking for a home where he can be the only dog while he figures out the world on his own terms. Blaze is sensitive beneath his imposing appearance—he just needs someone patient enough to give him the steady routine and kindness he deserves. With time and understanding, he’ll go from worried to wonderful. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
