Update- ADOPTED!

Blaze
Black Labrador Retriever

Personality~ Affectionate, Curious, Loves Kisses, Loyal, Playful, Quiet, Friendly
House-trained~ Yes
Neutered~ yes
Vaccinated: Yes

Blaze was brought to us by his owner. He is still confused and not sure of what is happening in his life. Blaze has been with the family since he was a baby. Boy, what a good life it has been. Lots of love and play, and the grandkids would come and visit and that was such a fun time. Blaze loved the kids to come.
But, now Blaze finds himself in this strange place with lots of other dogs around. The people are nice and he does get lots of attention. He even gets to go out in the yard and play ball and fetch.
Blaze is a senior dog. He is 9 years old, but you wouldn't think so when you watch him run and play. His world turned upside down when the family moved to another home and they were not allowed to have any animals. Right now he is adjusting to his new life. What is on the horizon for Blaze is to find a new loving home where he can retire and get lots of love and attention.
We all know how special a senior dog is, and now you have a chance to have your very own. Blaze would be a perfect addition to your family. Would you like to know more?? Telephone the Thumb Animal Shelter at 989-375-4204. We hope to hear from you soon. Blaze has his toys all packed,
