About Blue Berries

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Meet Blue Berries, the spirited second half of the lovable duo Bearie Berries and Blue Berries! Weighing about 75 lbs, she is a large, short-haired girl with a fascinating mix of American Staffordshire Terrier and Chow Chow. Blue is making wonderful progress with her house training and loves spending time with kids, adults, and other dogs. While she's still brushing up on leash walking skills, Blue shines with her quick intelligence and eager recall, always responding when called. As an energetic adult, Blue would be happiest in a home with a fenced yard or access to plenty of outdoor space, where she can run and play to her heart's content. Blue Berries is part of a bonded pair and must be adopted together with her beloved mom, Bearie Berries, ensuring this tight-knit duo stays together. All dogs from Friends with Four Paws are rescued from shelters or the public, placed in loving foster care, and receive full medical care prior to adoption—including spay or neuter, vaccinations, microchip, and routine preventives. Your patience is appreciated as the team finds the right forever home for Blue and her mom. This could be the start of something paw-some.
