About Blue

Blue is a loving young dog who has come a long way from his initial fears. Since arriving at the rescue, he’s transformed into a playful, affectionate companion. At around two years old, Blue weighs about 63 pounds and is a likely Labrador mix with a sleek black coat and hints of cream. He thrives on energy, loving fetch and long walks, and he walks beautifully on a leash. Neutered and house trained, Blue is also crate trained, making him a wonderful addition to any home. His training is progressing well, as he already knows commands like sit, stay, and shake, thanks to his food motivation. While Blue is friendly with other dogs, he does best with slow introductions, especially around new people. Ideally, he would enjoy a calm home that respects his need for gradual socialization. He’s comfortable around cats and children he's familiar with, bringing affection to those he trusts. Although he can have some weakness in his back legs, resulting from a genetic issue, he bounces back well, with daily supplements helping him maintain his strength. If you’re patient and understanding, Blue promises to be a loyal companion. Click apply to start the adoption process.
