If you're searching for the most devoted and loving best friend ever, Blaze is the guy you want to have around! Blaze, at just about 1 - 2 years old and 31 lbs is just naturally a lover. When he looks at you with those dark, expressive eyes and sweet smile, your heart just can't help but melt. Blaze is a stunning Australian Cattle Dog / Corgi mix (considered by many to be among the most intelligent and cuddly breed mixes available today) with all the traits that make these sweet and personality-plus dogs popular breed mixes for families and individuals searching for a very loving and loyal best friend. Blaze has a stunning fluffy coat but sadly it has been compromised by the harsh conditions of shelter life. His coloring is gorgeous with shades of red mixed in with beautiful pure white markings. Blaze (like most dogs) will require a lifelong commitment to periodic baths / brushing and excellent nutrition. A daily salmon oil supplement and fresh food like Chi Dog Food (chidog.com) are great choices for hair care as well as general longevity. Blaze enjoys his time with his rescuer so much that his favorite times of the day are the times spent together. Blaze's rescuer is very clear that this gorgeous guy is over the top sweet, just a bit shy initially and once comfortable, loves his people more than anything in the world! Sweet Blaze is a sensitive and very loving guy who derives his joy from his time spent with his family and his canine best friends. Blaze is a young, healthy dog who will love a kind and respectful family with all his heart. He would also enjoy another gentle dog to play with, and then to lie together in the sunshine enjoying a beautiful day. Blaze, while initially a bit shy, is a happy go lucky pup once used to his environment. He will have so much fun exploring and taking long walks or runs along the gorgeous Colorado trails. He's always open to new activities with a never-ending positive attitude. Just say the word and up Blaze will jump for a car ride, a fun hike or just a sociable stroll around the neighborhood. Blaze is an extremely affectionate and loving guy once comfortable in his surroundings! We would love to see him in a home with a family (older kids preferred so there's no tail-pulling or awkward handling) or active retirees who have the time and love in their hearts for a loyal and sweet best companion. We'd hate to see Blaze left alone all day while his family works full-time outside of the home. We think he's too sensitive for that arrangement. An individual that works from a home-based office and therefore available for periodic hugs and quick walks would be a perfect situation for Blaze. Blaze has been completely vetted, vaccinated and neutered to support Farfel's commitment to only adopting out healthy dogs who won't contribute to the tragic overpopulation in the canine population.
