About Blue

Blue is looking for a new foster or adopter after an ongoing rivalry with her brother put a stop to their happy home life together. She's a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Jack Russell Terrier mix, around six years old, raised with her family since puppyhood. Blue adores people—she's the type to greet everyone like an old friend. She stays off the furniture unless invited and would be thrilled to nap on your lap or quietly join you for TV time. At just 46 pounds, she's the perfect size for cuddling. Blue doesn't have a destructive streak. Shoes and household belongings aren't at risk, and her favorite toys are any that crinkle and squeak. Her exercise needs are moderate. She's happiest on slow walks, exploring and sniffing, with the occasional run just for fun. Blue gets along well with other dogs and has lived with a cat before, so she could fit nicely into a multi-pet home. Despite her previous hiccup with one dog, she's inviting and friendly, and would love the chance to pick her own sibling next time. Blue is house trained, spayed, and up to date on vaccines. She's in Columbia, MD, waiting for her next adventure. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
