About Blue

Meet Blue. This young Aussie/Catahoula mix captivates with his striking ice-blue eyes and a personality that truly shines. Blue's journey hasn't been easy; he came from a tough situation but has since learned the joys of family life in his current loving home. While his family cares for him deeply, they recognize that Blue would thrive in a setting that offers even more time, attention, and activity. Smart and affectionate, Blue has lived harmoniously with children and a cat. Although he's primarily been an only dog, he hails from a large litter and his family believes he would enjoy the company of another canine with the right introductions. He's neutered, up to date on vaccines, and is ready for a new adventure. Blue deserves a forever home where he can be included and loved, giving back all the affection he has to offer. This is a courtesy listing, and Blue is not currently in the care of Noah’s Arc. For more details, feel free to reach out to Natalie at 865-248-9461. Click apply to start the adoption process.
