About Blue

Meet Blue! This big, handsome boy is a certified staff favorite. He adores cuddling, belly rubs, and indulging in as many treats as he can manage. Friendly with other dogs, Blue thrives on attention from people and has a laid-back personality. He enjoys sniffy walks, followed by long afternoon naps on the couch. Expect an excited greeting when you come home; he’ll want to stick by your side for a bit, showing just how much he loves you. Blue is a little overweight, which affects his joints, making stairs a bit tricky until he sheds some pounds. Despite his big boy bark that might seem intimidating, he’s a gentle giant full of affection and love. If you think Blue could be the perfect addition to your home, swing by our Boston location to meet him! He is up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, microchipped, and has been seen by our vet team. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY, but same-day adoptions aren’t an option due to paperwork regulations.
