About Blitz

Blitz is a curious, bright-eyed young dog who always aims to be where the excitement is. He loves spending time with his foster siblings, whether he's unwinding on the couch or keeping up with their playful energy. Blitz's favorite moments include tumbling with his brother, snooping around new corners, gnawing on a bone during downtime, and settling in for a belly rub — which he'll always ask for, especially when the treat jar comes out. Shy at first, Blitz doesn't take long to warm up if you approach him calmly. He builds trust through gentle attention and quickly becomes affectionate. He gets along well with other dogs and is perfectly content to coexist with cats, rarely giving them a second thought. He is potty pad trained and is learning the ropes with house training and leash etiquette. Nights are easy: Blitz sleeps soundly in his indoor puppy pen. He'll need a fenced yard in his future home, as he's curious and enjoys time outside. Blitz is eager for a new family that will encourage his confidence and continue his training, all while giving him the affection he loves. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
