Blue narrowly avoided euthanasia after coming from animal control, then landed in rescue and was adopted out briefly before being returned for being overly protective of his owner. With strangers, Blue is standoffish, but once he feels safe, his loyalty runs deep. He’s not the type to share—he needs to be the only pet in a quiet home without kids, other animals, or a stream of visitors. Blue is territorial and will need to be managed or put away when guests come over. There’s plenty to like: Blue is house-trained, knows his basic commands, and walks nicely on a leash. His favorite pastime is playing ball—he’d go all day if allowed. For an experienced owner, he could make a devoted companion who just wants a person of his own.
