About Blue

Meet Blue, an energetic and affectionate German Shorthaired Pointer/Hound mix ready to find his forever home. Rescued from a shelter in Kentucky just before he was set to be euthanized, Blue is about 6 months old and full of puppy spirit. His big personality is matched only by his playful nature; he loves outdoor adventures and will joyfully fetch tennis balls and toys. He'll even bring along a few favorites to his new home. Currently tipping the scales at 61 lbs, this striking boy tries to be a lap dog despite his large breed size. Blue is housebroken, using bells to communicate, and crate-trained. He’s been working on leash manners and basic commands, and would benefit from continued training. Blue is great with other dogs and loves kids. He hasn't been tested with cats yet. His vaccinations are up to date, and Tiny Paws Small Dog Rescue will cover his neutering costs, making him a great companion for the right family. He’s currently fostering in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, with Becca Liz. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
