About Blaire

Blaire is a sweet, sensitive girl who's looking for a patient family to help her settle in. Though she can be shy, with kindness and consistency, she'll blossom. Her medium energy level makes a home with a yard ideal for her to stretch her legs and explore. She's already established a great foundation: Blaire is housetrained, crate trained, and leash trained, which should ease her transition to a new home. Treats are her favorite motivator, making training a rewarding experience, and she's gentle when taking them. A couple of important notes: Blaire has a strong prey drive, so she isn’t suited for homes with cats. She's best matched with dog-savvy children aged 13 and up who can respect her boundaries. Her foster shares, "Blaire is unique and special. After living on the streets, she needed time to relax and adjust. She's smart, sweet, and just a little stubborn. While she enjoys short walks and some playtime, her favorite spot is curled up on the couch. She's loyal and has protective instincts, making her a wonderful companion. Just remember, baths should be quick since she prefers rolling around in the dirt." If you're looking for a gentle companion who rewards patience with loyalty and affection, Blaire might be the perfect match. Come meet her today!
