Blaze ~ 5yo greyhound boy (On Trial 14/6/17)

Blaze is a true gentleman - if he could, he would open the door for you. He is a calm and confidant dog with impeccable manners.

At 5yrs old, Blaze doesn't feel the need to romp around the house, and no need to be rough or pushy with the family. It's also who he is; everything he does he does it with a steady calmness. He has been a dream to foster.

Blaze does have his funny side too. He loves a zoom around the backyard - you can see his happiness. He loves playing with his toys and gently flipping them around.

He loves his food but he isn't a guts. If fact he likes trying new foods. His eyes will get really wide and bright. I have to admit that I do give him new foods just to see those eyes.

You will enjoy walking him too as he just glides along beside you.

My favourite Blaze quirk is his lip chuffing, teeth chattering whenever he is happy. He is in his happy place when snuggling with you and getting a neck massage his lip chuffing, teeth chattering. The noises are similar to a cat purring.

Currently Blaze lives with 5 other dogs including 4 greyhounds and another mixed breed dog. Blaze enjoys having a game of chase with the other dogs, but he would also make a suitable only dog.

Greyhounds are extremely lazy, preferring to snooze the day away on the lounge. A 15-20 minute walk per day will make Blaze extremely happy and contented. If in a rush, a 10 minute walk and sniff will keep him happy. Greyhounds are a little different from your average dog, so reading up about greyhounds is advised and appreciated.

The perfect home for Blaze would be a somewhat calm environment with a family that would make him a part of their family. He needs a home without cats as he is not cat friendly.
