Meet Blade! This handsome, 1-year-old, 55-lb Rhodesian Ridgeback Mix is equal parts sweet, smart and soulful. Not to mention, he has movie-star looks to match! If you're looking for the total package, Blade is ready to steal your heart. Blade is the kind of dog who just gets it. He's fully house trained (and impressively reliable as he can hold it for extended hours), crate trained and sleeps soundly through the night, making him a wonderful fit for a structured home, even with a busy, in office schedule. Blade is an intelligent and intuitive pup who takes social cues beautifully and loves to learn. He's currently polishing his leash skills and already picking up new tricks quickly with positive reinforcement and treats. He's GREAT with other dogs and would absolutely enjoy having a canine companion to romp around with (bonus points if he can sneak in a smooch, he's a lover!). Whether it's a backyard zoomies session or a play date at the park, Blade knows how to have fun and then wind down. Blade is curious about the outdoors and would happily join you on hikes, walks or weekend adventures, but he's just as content enjoying a playful enrichment session followed by a serious nap at home. He's adaptable and would do well in a city apartment or a home with a yard. Blade is blossoming into a special dog and would make an amazing addition to any kind of family. With his loving nature, quick mind, and easygoing personality, he's destined to be a rockstar companion and family member. He is currently fostered in Manhattan, NY and his adoption fee is $500. "To adopt this animal, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt All of our animals come spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals. For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the animal you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible. We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where animals can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting an animal in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal."
