About Blu

Blu is a lively 2-year-old Australian Cattle Dog, also known as a Blue Heeler, based in Myakka City, Florida. She is already spayed, microchipped, and fully vaccinated, plus she's on heartworm and flea prevention. Blu is both crate trained and house trained, which makes her a solid addition to a family. Blu is smart and knows basic commands, although she’s still working on her "stay". True to her breed, she has a playful spirit and a loyal nature, often staying close to her favorite humans. Blu thrives on activity, so she would prosper in a home that can provide her with an energetic environment and a canine companion who's similar in age and energy. While she's a fantastic and devoted friend, Blu does have a strong prey-drive, so homes with small animals like chickens or ducks might not be the best fit. Additionally, she would do best without young children, although she enjoys the company of respectful teenagers. A secure, fenced yard that’s at least six feet tall is a must for Blu, ensuring she has plenty of space to run and play. If you are seeking a smart and affectionate companion with a fun-loving personality, Blu could be the ideal match for you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
