Meet Blue, the extraordinary 8-year-old Australian Shepherd ready to become your new best friend! 🌟 With classic good looks and an eager-to-please attitude, Blue is every bit the loyal companion you’ve been dreaming of. This striking boy was once adopted from Green Dogs Unleashed and happily lived alongside another Aussie until circumstances changed. Now, he’s on a quest for a new forever home where he can soak up all the love and attention he so richly deserves! Blue is a seasoned gentleman—house trained, equipped with basic recall skills, and a pro at walking nicely on a loose leash. 🚶‍♂️ He enjoys car rides 🎉 and is a frisbee and fetch aficionado, having even dazzled the crowd in a disc dog competition! This vibrant pup is a true social butterfly who thrives on routine and interaction. 💖 Since Blue’s lived in a stable environment, we’re still uncovering how he interacts with kids, cats, and other dogs. Thoughtful introductions in a calm and structured home will help him shine! 🌈 He would be the perfect match for someone who appreciates the lively, intelligent nature of the Aussie breed, looking for that special companion who’s past the puppy antics, yet ready to partake in spirited play. If you’re after a devoted buddy who will joyfully fetch frisbees and stroll at your side, Blue is your guy! 🥳 Now, a little fun fact: with an August birthdate, Blue falls under Leo, the sign of creativity and generosity, which perfectly captures his spirited personality! 🌞✨ The heartwarming mission of Green Dogs Unleashed is focused on placing dogs like Blue in loving, permanent homes. To ensure this happens, positive reinforcement training with GDU is a requirement for all adopters. Preferred applicants will commit to our six-week Canine 101 training class in person at our Troy, VA headquarters. If you're out of the area, don't fret! A limited number of out-of-area adopters may complete one private lesson with GDU (in-person or virtually) and attend a pre-approved training class nearby. So, if you’re feeling a connection to this wonderful pup and envision him becoming part of your family, don’t hesitate! Apply through the Buddy App today! 🐾 But remember, this little superstar is already drawing interest, so filling out that application is key! 📝 If you have questions, let those slide for now—our team can only process applications. There’s plenty of love to go around, so make Blue’s day and give him a shot at a wonderful life with you! Apply through the Buddy App to begin the adventure! 🌻🌟
