About Bleu

Meet Bleu, a lively Bassett Hound around three years old. He’s neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and weighs approximately 48 lbs. This playful boy is house trained and knows commands like sit and kennel. Bleu does have a vocal side, typical for hounds, and loves to express himself. He requires a secure, fenced yard and a home—not an apartment or duplex. Bleu enjoys playing with other dogs, though he can be a bit rough. He’s not suited for homes with small children or smaller dogs, as he can be overwhelming, especially for senior pets. Car rides are a favorite, but he tends to take the role of backseat driver. If you can provide him the love and space he needs, Bleu would make a wonderful addition to your family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
