Blaze

Labrador Retriever · Male · Adult · 7 years

over: 🍀 Other dogs: by sympathy Other animals: unknown, no cats Children: they are too tickly for him, bigger quiet children are okay Dog experience: absolutely necessary Problems: classified as dangerous, but can be resolved with behavioral assessment Hello there, you people out there, my name is Blaze and I am a Giant Baby. I am a dog who needs guidance, rules, and boundaries, and then I am happy. Unfortunately, my previous owner did not provide this, and I have been seeking my own purpose. Unfortunately, I am territorial, and if your property is not well secured, I will break out and chase away all people and dogs who pass by my territory. This was also the reason why the authorities seized me and now I am here, classified as dangerous. I am really a sensitive one, super trainable, and eager to learn. I now have to go on a muzzle and leash walk, but this does not bother me. During walks, I rely on my people, and if they take the lead, I gladly accept and walk very calmly past everything and everyone. But you must be able to assert yourself with me, because only then will I trust you in such situations. New situations are generally initially scary for me, so I need time to get comfortable with them. Do you have a securely fenced property, or even better, no garden to watch? Are you familiar with territorial behavior, do not mind my muzzle, and want to work with me to achieve a behavioral assessment classification as a less dangerous dog? My breeds were determined with a DNA test. 😁 If you want to get to know me, feel free to contact and tell me something about you and how you live.

Andere Hunde: nach Sympathie Andere Tiere: unbekannt, keine Katzen Kinder: sind ihm zu wuselig, größere ruhige Kinder sind ok Hundeerfahrung: unbedingt nötig Probleme: als gefährlich eingestuft, kann man mit Wesenstest aber wieder weg bekommen Hallo ihr Menschen da draußen, mein Name ist Blaze und ich bin ein Riesen-Baby. Ich bin ein Hund, der Führung braucht, Regeln und Grenzen und dann bin ich glücklich. Leider hat dies mein Ex Besitzer nicht getan und ich habe mir meine eigene Aufgabe gesucht. Leider bin ich nämlich territorial und wenn euer Grundstück nicht gut gesichert ist, breche ich aus und vertreibe alle Menschen und Hunde, die an meinem Gelände vorbeigehen. Dies war leider auch der Grund, warum mich das Amt beschlagnahmt hat und ich jetzt hier sitze, als gefährlich eingestuft Dabei bin ich echt ein Sensibelchen, super führig und gelehrig. Ich muss nun mit Maulkorb und Leine Gassi gehen, dies stört mich aber nicht. Beim Spaziergang verlasse ich mich auf meine Menschen, wenn diese die Führung übernehmen, nehme ich das dankend an und laufe sehr gemütlich an allem und jedem vorbei. Aber man muss sich bei mir durchsetzen können, denn nur dann vertraue ich euch auch in solchen Situationen. Neue Situationen sind mir grundsätzlich erstmal unheimlich, da brauche ich etwas Zeit um mich damit wohl zu fühlen. Ihr habt ein Grundstück, welches sicher eingezäunt ist oder besser noch, keinen Garten zum Bewachen? Kennt euch mit territorialem Verhalten aus, stört euch nicht an meinem Maulkorb und wollt mit mir daran arbeiten, dass ich den Wesenstest zur Ausstufung als gefährlicher Hund schaffe? Meine Rassen wurden mit einem DNA Test bestimmt. 😁 Wenn Ihr mich kennenlernen wollt, meldet euch gerne unter und erzählt etwas von euch und wie ihr wohnt.

About Blaze

What life with Blaze looks like

Blaze is a large adult labrador retriever dog waiting at Tierheim Stuttgart in Stuttgart.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

Note from the shelter: Classified as dangerous dog due to territorial behavior, requires muzzle and leash, needs secure property without garden access, requires behavioral training for declassification test

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Blaze, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Blaze?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Stuttgart handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Blaze on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Blaze if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Stuttgart will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Blaze already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Blaze isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Stuttgart early rather than rehoming privately; they know Blaze and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
