Blaze is 12 weeks old, has been neutered, is up to date on his shots (rabies too), and is free of worms. He is very sweet and smart. We house broke him in just 3 days. He already obeys "no", "come" and "stop". Blaze is a black lab mix and, like most labs, loves to play. He gets along very well with our other dog and is great with kids. He loves to cuddle on the floor (not allowed on furniture) with us on his breaks from wrestling with our 4 year old lab. They recently discovered tug of war.
Blaze was born with megaesophagus. It is a large esophagus and as a result, he needs to be fed upright and keep that way for 10-15 min after eating. He needs 5 small feedings a day. once he matures, the vet said the feedings, can be less frequent but he will always need to be upright. The kids will be returning to school soon so nobody will be home to feed him. We will not be able to meet his needs.
If he's fed correctly, there is no retching. If not fed correctly, he will vomit, possibly aspirate, and get pneumonia. We got him 3 weeks ago and he weighed 7.5 pounds. He is now 18 lbs! He sometimes wants down when we are holding him up ... esp when he thinks he's missing something happening in the house. However, we just tell him "be still" and he heaves a great sigh, looks at you with those puppy eyes, and sits still until the timer goes off. He will be easy to train to stay upright on his own.
Can you help us find him a home?
