About Blue

Meet Blue, the French Bulldog! He joined the shelter after his previous guardian could no longer care for him. Friendly and social, Blue has interacted well with people, including children, in his past home. He is house trained and loves to play fetch and cuddle. His favorite treats are dog biscuits and even bananas, while he enjoys balls and plush toys. Blue knows the command "sit" and has previously lived with another dog, doing well at the dog park too. It's key for his next adopter to understand brachycephalic breeds like him, as he has some breathing complications related to his short nose, especially in stressful situations like exercise or heat. The clinic team is ready to discuss his needs with potential adopters and provide guidance. The Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter Foundation offers "Pawsitivity Bucks," a $200 training voucher for newly adopted canines to help connect with local trainers. If you want to meet Blue, make sure to arrive before 4:00 PM to allow time for a proper introduction. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
