About Blue

Blue is a lively, 3-year-old male dog weighing 65 lbs. This athletic pup possesses a big personality and an even bigger energy level. He's always ready for adventure, whether he’s chasing tennis balls, carrying around squeaky toys, or digging holes in the yard. Blue thrives in an environment that offers plenty of space to run and play. He is fully house trained and crate trained with no accidents in his crate, although he may have occasional slips in the house if not let out in time. His walks are more of a sightseeing tour since he loves to explore everything along the way. Blue enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to play, but he’s still learning that not all dogs want to wrestle endlessly. He's good with kids, though some continued training will help curb his jumping excitement. As for cats, that’s still a question mark. This outgoing dog gets overly excited when people come home and may bark during lively moments. He tends to make a mess while drinking, often leaving wet paw prints on your legs as a sign of affection. His foster family is working on his manners, including polite play behavior, while his joyful spirit makes him a delightful companion. If you’re looking for a fun and active buddy who brings laughter into your life, Blue might just be the one for you! What are you waiting for? Apply today!
