About Blue

Blue is a delightful 5-year-old chocolate lab, weighing in at 95 pounds. Imagine the comfort of a warm cup of cocoa; that’s what it’s like having him around. He’s house and crate trained, and he knows how to behave well on a leash. Blue is friendly with other dogs, cats, and respectful children. He’s laid-back, a little silly, and loves to spend time with his people, soaking up affection. His favorite pastime is carrying a plush toy around. Smart and eager to please, he knows how to sit, lie down, and shake. Currently, Blue is healing from an injury that calls for some pain management and limited activity, but he doesn’t mind taking it easy. As he ages, he will need to keep an eye on his weight and may require medication. Given this, his adoption fee is reduced to $75, which covers his neuter, vaccines, and microchip. Blue thrives in a loving home that appreciates his breed, ideally with a fenced yard and minimal stairs. If you’re ready to embrace the warmth and joy he brings, reach out today!
