Description:
Note: Bleu will need a physically fenced yard.
Bleu proves you’re only as old as you feel, and this guy definitely doesn’t act his age. He joins his foster dad and hiking group for 3-mile hikes and only starts to drag a little at the end. Everyone in the group likes Bleu, which says a lot about this sweet guy.
Bleu loves playing outside and will need a fenced-in yard. He enjoys chasing squirrels and the occasional bunny, but it’s just to see them run. He also loves playing ball, especially with his foster dad, but he’s happy to play on his own outside, too. On his first day in foster care, Bleu made friends with a golden Lab through the fence. Now, when they’re both outside, they meet at the fence to say hello.
Bleu does well meeting other dogs, though he prefers the company of people. This smart guy already knows commands like “stay,” “come” and “fetch the ball.” Treats are his motivation as he learns new commands. It’s not all about playtime with Bleu; he also likes to cuddle and would be a lap dog if allowed.
Bleu will bark, but it’s mostly his way of saying, “Hi, here I am.” When he sees strangers, he’ll bark in hopes of making a new friend. Once he’s met them and been allowed to give a sniff and maybe receive a pet or two, he’s ready to return to walking with his person.
This amazing sheltie/aussie mix is affectionate, sweet and cute. He loves to play and also likes to be right next to his person. Bleu is almost home. Let’s help him find his forever home.
