About Blu

Blu is a vibrant 11-month-old mixed breed dog, weighing around 35 pounds. He's made great strides at his boarding and daycare facility, where he's learned to socialize with other dogs. Blu has one blue eye and one brown eye, adding a unique touch to his charming appearance. He's currently mastering leash manners and would thrive in a home with a fenced yard where he can burn off some of his abundant energy. Active and playful, Blu is great with people and can potentially share his home with a smaller, submissive dog. After being rescued from a rural road at just four months old, Blu was placed in a loving home, but unfortunately, he struggled to get along with their senior dog. His energetic spirit necessitates a setting that can provide both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Blu is neutered and up to date on all vaccinations, so he’s ready for a fresh start and a family of his own. If you’re interested in giving Blu a new beginning, please reach out to us.
