Meet Blaze: 1-Year-Old 45lbs Island Boy with Big Personality From Puerto Rico with Love (and a Solid Bark) Blaze with a family with two kids who he adore. Unfortunately the family is going through a divorce. Blaze is what you get when you mix a loyal guardian with a total goofballbasically, the best of both worlds if youre ready for an adventure. This handsome fawn-and-white rescue came all the way from Puerto Rico and arrived fully housebroken (seriously, this guy knows what hes doing). The Blaze absolutely LIVES for backyard runshes got the athleticism and the boundless energy of a dog who was born to move. When hes not zooming around like his tails on fire, hes ready to flop on the couch for serious cuddle sessions. Hes equal parts protective pooch and silly companion, with a bark thatll let you know hes looking out for his people, but a wag that says hes just happy to be near you. Like most young, energetic dogs, Blaze loves toys, that random shoe you left out... its all fair game to him. He needs an owner wholl give him appropriate outlets (lots of durable toys, puzzle toys, and healthy chew alternatives) and can channel that enthusiasm with exercise and training. Your Perfect Match: Youre active, youve got space for this boy to run, and youre looking for a dog whos part protector, part best friend. You understand that young dogs need patience, exercise, and boundariesand youre ready to invest that time. If you can give Blaze a structured home with regular exercise and training, hell give you loyalty, laughs, and cuddles in return. The Bottom Line: Blaze is a stunning, soulful boy with so much love to give. He deserves a home as amazing as he is. Ready to be his person?
