About Blue

Meet Blue! Blue is a handsome Australian Cattle Dog mix with a unique freckled coat and a gentle, thoughtful personality. This sweet boy may take a little time to warm up, but once he trusts you, he becomes a loyal, affectionate companion who loves to give kisses and relax by your side. He's crate trained, quick to go potty, and has excellent manners. Blue takes treats gently but can be a bit picky, enjoying a calm, structured routine. With a medium to low energy level, he’s a great fit for a home that enjoys both light activity and plenty of downtime. Blue can be selective with other dogs, making him best suited as the only pet where he can feel secure and fully bond with his person. He tends to warm up more quickly to women, but with patience and consistency, he will build trust with anyone willing to give him time. He does get nervous during storms and requires extra comfort and reassurance when it rains. In a calm, understanding environment, he'll continue to grow in confidence and trust. Blue was saved from a euthanasia list in Houston, Texas, and is now safe in foster care while waiting for his forever home. He is fully vetted, neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. He is available for out-of-state transport to the right adopter. If you're looking for a loyal, gentle companion who will form a deep bond and be your calm, loving sidekick, Blue could be your perfect match.
