About Blair

Blair has come a long way from the quiet, withdrawn pup who once hid in her crate for comfort. She was deeply shut down at first, keeping to herself and shying away from any touch or invitation to step outside. Her crate was her stronghold, and she'd rather hold her potty than confront anything unfamiliar. Patience and a gentle approach started to reveal her spark. With the support of her foster dog sibling, Blair has started exploring life with fresh curiosity. She’s discovered a love for children, suggesting that, before rescue, kids and other pets might have been her only source of comfort and stability. Now, Blair has learned what zoomies are. She plays, lets herself enjoy moments, and surprises everyone with little doses of joy. For Blair to keep blossoming, she needs a home where patience comes naturally and another friendly dog can help her continue building confidence. Older children would be a big plus—they’re likely to earn her trust and become her favorite people. Blair still takes things one step at a time, but her transformation has been remarkable.
