Provide a Pet a Pad — Blaze is Still at the Animal Shelter [VIDEOS/PHOTOS]

Blaze is still at the animal shelter! He is so sweet and such a calm, loving dog. It is hard to believe that no one has adopted him yet. I hope you will help us find him a home or possibly find someone interested in sponsoring him so we can buy extra time to find a home for sweet Blaze.

You can save Blaze by sponsoring him! To sponsor a dog means to pay for his vetting costs. He would be neutered and then returned to the shelter for families to see him in hopes of adopting him. Once he is vetted it makes him more appealing to adoptive families because the initial cost associated with adopting a dog has been taken care of so monies spent on him can be for a comfortable bed, chew toys and food.

His teeth are pearly white so he is a young dog, probably about a year and a half. He looks like a possibly Lab mix with some Catahoula and probably many other breeds mixed in. He is fun-loving and playful.
