About Blue

Meet Blue, a friendly 8-year-old female weighing a hearty 108 pounds. She has a lovable personality and adores chest scritches. Blue came to the shelter as a surrender, and while she gets along well with dogs—having arrived with a canine companion—her interactions with cats are still a mystery. It’s best to proceed with slow and supervised introductions. Ideally, she'll thrive in a home with children aged 8 and up who can respect her space. Blue also has a medical release concerning her spay scar and dental health, which the staff will go over with you. It’s vital to remember that every animal reacts differently in new environments, so patience and care are key. Blue is ready to find her forever home, and she may just be the right fit for you! If you’re local to Eugene or Lane County, be aware that you'll need to obtain a dog license as part of the adoption process. Interested? Come meet Blue and see if you’re the right match!
