About Azul

Azul has the temperament everyone hopes for in a companion. Years of being left crated for 10-15 hours a day didn't break his spirit—he's loving, playful, and always thrilled to meet new people or dogs. Azul wants to be by your side, whether that means curling up on the couch or simply following you around to see what you’re up to. A champion cuddler, he prefers to join you in bed for extra warmth and affection. When left alone, Azul enjoys his downtime and busies himself with toys or naps (foster confirms his mellow behavior with a doggie cam). Azul is partially deaf, but he’s quick to pick up hand signs and visual cues. He’s around 7 years old and weighs about 50 pounds. Neutering is pending, but will be fully covered if you adopt before the procedure. He gets along well with other dogs and is house trained. If your family is looking for a big-hearted pup who just wants to belong, Azul is ready to start his new chapter. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
