This gorgeous 1 year old boy is located in Espanola, New Mexico. Blitzen is a sweet, affectionate young dog who bonds deeply with his people and thrives in the right environment. He is smart, attentive, and eager to connect, especially when given clear structure and confident leadership. Blitzen does best with an experienced owner who understands the importance of consistency, boundaries, and continued training. With stability and guidance, he has the potential to truly flourish. The ideal home for Blitzen would be: Adult-only household (no children) No small pets Either as an only dog or with a calm, submissive female companion A confident adopter committed to providing leadership and structure He is housebroken, has recently mastered the use of a doggy door (!) , is great on hikes and walks and does well on a leash. Blitzen has so much love to give — he simply needs the right match to help him feel secure and successful. Blitzen spent time in boarding while we were looking for a foster and that environment wasn't the environment where his personality could shine, however, in a steady home with clear expectations, he will thrive. If you’re an experienced adopter looking for a loyal young companion and understand the value of structure, Blitzen may be your perfect fit.
