Blazer

Meet Blazer, a five-year-young Mastiff mix, weighing in at around 90 pounds. Blazer’s owner could no longer care for him, so Blazer found himself at the shelter through no fault of his own. Blazer did not receive much socialization outside his family in his early years so he can be a little nervous when making new friends.

But once you have cleared Blazer’s background check, you will be his best friend. Blazer loves to go on walks and enjoy hikes in nice, quiet areas. You won’t need an alarm with this guy; he will always have your back and let you know when someone is at your door.

He has lived with other dogs with mixed results, but he prefers humans over other furry friends. No cats for Blazer. Blazer would love a quiet, adult (or adults/teens) home. If you’re looking for a laid-back companion, Blazer is your guy!

If you have questions about Blazer, call the shelter at 207-743-8679. If you are interested in meeting him, fill out the application at www.responsiblepetcare.org/dogs. Meetings are by appointment with an approved application.
