My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello! My name is Blue and I am a 5 year old, smooth blue girl. My Foster Mom says I am gorgeous inside and out. I love affection, learning new things, play time and to gaze adoringly into your eyes.
I haven’t had much exposure to the outside world but am super excited to learn! I have already learned my name, come and happily figured out my foster mom’s routine. There are certain things in the house that I am still learning, like I would love to stick my head in the oven, but Mom says it is dangerous. (It smells so good!) She tells me “back”. I also like to door dash and am trying really hard to learn “wait.”

I LOVE meeting new people and dogs and may get a bit over excited and distracted at first. So many new things and people to get to know and explore make me happy! Once I get to know you, I love petting, scratches and belly rubs. Mom says I want to make my people happy and try very hard.
I love to go for walks, although I prefer to run!!! Foster Mom says I am doing better on a leash and need to keep working on my leash manners. She uses a front clip harness on me to help remind me not to pull. It is hard to remember at times, but I am getting there! My foster mom and I decided a fenced yard is best because I get the zoomies and mom says I get easily distracted by squirrels, birds and anything shiny and new!

Fenced yard required.
