About Blu

Blu is a lovable, goofy old soul searching for a family who appreciates the sweetness of seniors. At nearly sixteen, he's gentle but unfazed by the challenges age has brought. Blu needs a home where rugs and mats help him move around safely—stairs just aren't his thing these days, and he may need help getting onto furniture. He's around 90% deaf, but that hardly dulls his spirit. Offering joy in every bounce and little dance when walk time comes, Blu turns a stroll or a car ride into a celebration. He loves meeting new people and has won over plenty of hearts with his sunny, quirky presence. Blu would be happiest sharing space with another slow, older dog, but isn't a match for cats. He gets along well with children and enjoys the company of other gentle dogs. What Blu craves most is a family who values the unique magic of a senior companion—someone who embraces his silly antics and understands his limitations.
