2/19/14 Blaze is
sadly being returned to the kennel tomorrow. He has made a lot of
progress in the past 2.5 months, but has still not been able to adjust to
living with two other dogs. Blaze is wonderful with people and has
come so far while in foster. If you have a home without other dogs,
please apply today to give Blaze a chance!

Blaze
has been with us for 2 months now. In this time, he has rediscovered a few
things that he loves and has learned some new things as well. First up,
Blaze has learned that he loves being in a home instead of the kennel. He
loves running around in a fenced back yard with his foster siblings. If they
get tired of playing with him, Blaze will entertain himself by running and
tossing a rope or ball into the air then going back after it. Blaze loves to
snuggle too. He is an excellent bed/body warmer. If there is an electric
blanket, that makes it even better in Blaze's opinion.
Blaze has also learned a few manners at his foster home. He must stay out
of the kitchen when momma is cooking so he doesn't get hurt. He will sit and
watch until the kitchen is empty in case a crumb was missed by the humans.
He also must stay in a sit until his food dish is in front of him to eat.
When he gets a treat, he is told gentle and Blaze will not grab it out of
your hand. Blaze is an awesome boy that just wants to please his owners and
be loved forever.
PS We celebrated Blaze's 3rd birthday today too since we aren't really
sure when it is. However today was his 2 month gotcha day and we know he was
two years old when he was rescued by AABR last year.

Blaze
continues to make great progress in his foster home. He is getting
along well with the other dogs. Blaze visited our vet today, where he
received a check up and vaccines. He is ready now for a forever family
of his own. Apply today if you are interested in adopting Blaze!

Blaze
has been at his foster home for a week now and has made amazing progress in
such a short period of time. Blaze is both housebroken and crate
trained. He is in foster with both a male and female boxer.
Blaze is doing very well with the female boxer after a slow introduction
period. His foster family is working with Blaze on his socialization
and basic commands. We will post another update as Blaze continues to
settle in and make progress!

After
spending almost a year in a boarding kennel, Blaze has finally found a hero
and is now in foster. He is gradually making the transition from a
kennel back to a home environment. Blaze loves to go for walks and
will even bring you his leash. His foster family will post a new
update as soon as they get to know him better. Apply today to give
Blaze a forever family - he has waited a long time for this!

Blaze
participated in a photo shoot with "Photography by Ellen." This sweet
and friendly boy was able to get some Christmas photos taken in hopes of
finding him a foster or forever home for the holidays. He would do
best as the only dog in the home, but he is great with people and just loves
attention. When Blaze met the photographer, he was all wiggles!
He is doing well on leash and really wants to please. If you can be
Blaze's hero, put your application in today!

Blaze
has a visit over the weekend by one of our volunteers. He is doing
much better with his leash walking once he gets his energy out from being in
the kennel. Blaze is very sweet with people and really enjoys
attention. He jumped in the car and wanted to go for a ride.
Please apply today to foster or adopt Blaze!

Blaze is
still waiting for a foster or forever home. Our volunteer who walks
him at the kennel indicates that Blaze has been doing really well on her
visits and has improved on leash. He is a very sweet boy with people.
If you are interested in fostering or adopting Blaze, please apply today to
help him get out of the kennel!

Blaze has
been in our kennel since late January and is in urgent need of a foster or
forever home. He has done well with all of the new people he has met and is
an energetic boy who would enjoy a fenced yard to run and play in. Blaze
would do best as an only dog or could possibly acclimate in time with an
easygoing female, as he came from a home with a senior female (AABR
available dog - Gypsy). Included are three new pictures from a recent visit
by our volunteer and photographer (RussellBrammer.com). Apply today to
help Blaze!

Blaze is a 2 year old white boxer who was surrendered to the shelter
along with Gypsy, a 9 yr old boxer, when their owner lost his home. The
owner indicated that Blaze is crate trained and housebroken. He does well
with female dogs and children, although older children are recommended due
to his size and energy level. Blaze is a very friendly boy, but in need of
some obedience training. He is very strong on leash and would benefit from a
fenced yard to run and play in. This handsome boy has so much potential - he
just needs a home with the patience and time to train him. Apply today if
you are interested in fostering or adopting Blaze! |
