Blaze German Shepherd Dog Detroit, MI

Meet Blaze, a senior sweetheart with a heart of gold and a charming wobble in his step. This 7- to 8-year-old gentle soul has been through a lot but is ready to start his next chapter with a family who will shower him with the love and care he’s always deserved.

Blaze’s journey hasn’t been easy—he came to us from DACC, where his future was uncertain. Now, this lovable guy is searching for a cozy, comfortable home where he can enjoy his golden years surrounded by kindness.

Blaze is the perfect houseguest. He’s fully potty trained, sleeps soundly in his crate with a treat to coax him in, and is completely non-destructive when left alone. He’s happiest on leisurely, sniff-filled strolls, though his wobbly back legs mean short walks are best for now. Watching Blaze’s endearing, tipsy gait is sure to melt your heart!

One of Blaze’s favorite activities is car rides—he’s obsessed! Whether it’s a quick errand or a scenic drive, he’s thrilled to join and happily watches the world go by. Just give him a little help getting in and out, and he’s ready to go. Treats, peanut butter Kongs, and snuffle mats are also highlights of his day.

Blaze gets along well with calm, respectful dogs and enjoys companionable walks with furry friends. While he’s curious about cats, he’s more of a quiet observer than a chaser. He’s also a people-pleaser, happiest when he’s by your side, either on a cozy dog bed or just hanging out.

Blaze’s only request? A home with minimal stairs and maybe some rugs or carpet to help with his mobility. This simple guy is ready to bring his gentle, loving nature into a home where he can relax and thrive.
