Happy Adoption Day!

Last year on New Years Day, I brought Blitz home from his foster mom.

He was originally abandoned in a dog park in Las Vegas where an elderly woman noticed he'd been there for awhile and turned him into the local GSD rescue. After being there for a few months he was transported to Arizona in hopes that he would find a home here, which he did.

He was listed at the rescue as 8 years old, however my vet agree's that he's yonger- around 5 to 6.

After our move to Flagstaff:

And these were taken today, he's sporting his new Palisades pack (minus the actual pack part), that my dear boyfriend got us for Christmas:

How rewarding to see his progress! Beautiful pictures - especially love the one on the rock and the winter woods in the sun. So handsome.

Abandoned at a dog park?!!! What is wrong with people!!!

So glad he found a better home.

The woman who found him said he'd been there about a week. Not sure what he was eating.

He has lingering dog reactivity issues that probably weren’t helped by being surrounded by strange dogs all day.

Beautiful boy!

Yeah, he definitely looks MUCH younger than 8. What a gorgeous boy.

Beautiful dog, thanks for giving him a home with lots of love.

Handsome and lucky. Great combo.

Wow, what a change! He's obviously happy and healthy now- he probably did look much older in the condition he was in.
