About Blade

Blade has turned a real corner since he left the shelter. After just a month in foster care, he's shed that overstimulated, reactive edge and started to shine. With a steady routine and support from his foster, Blade has relaxed enough to let his goofy side out—his army crawl is a classic, and he's not shy about claiming a lap or two. He's playful and rough-and-tumble one minute, but it's clear there's a couch potato in the making. Around kids, Blade is gentle, takes treats softly, and listens when you ask. He gets along well with other dogs, though he's better off in a cat-free home. For someone who wants an affectionate, resilient companion, Blade is more than ready to leave foster life behind and find someone to crash with for good. Ready to meet your new best friend?
