About Blaze

Meet Blaze — a gentle soul seeking his forever home. This 3-year-old Standard Poodle, weighing around 45 pounds, is a warm example of resilience. Rescued from a hoarding situation, he came in severely underweight and with a matted coat that required shaving. Despite his past, Blaze is ready to embrace a brighter future filled with love and comfort. He’s currently progressing well with potty and crate training, showing that he's a well-mannered gentleman around other dogs. In fact, having a friendly canine companion could really help him thrive. Blaze may start out shy with new people, so he needs an understanding family ready to build trust over time. He adores affection once he feels secure, and his personality shines through, especially with the encouragement of another dog. He’s good with dogs, cats, and children, displaying no food aggression or resource-guarding tendencies. Since arriving in rescue, Blaze has been neutered and is up to date on his vaccinations. We're helping him gain weight to ensure he’s healthy. He isn't searching for perfection, just a patient home where he can blossom at his own pace. If you're ready to invest time in earning his trust, Blaze may be your perfect match. He comes with essential supplies to ease his transition, including two bowls, food, and a harness if preferred. Watching him discover he’s finally home will be worth every moment. Start your journey together! Apply now.
