About Blue

Blue is a 2-year-old pup with an enormous heart! He came to us as a 7-month-month-old puppy who was very under-socialized and understandably fearful due to his past experiences. Despite what he has been through, Blue is incredibly affectionate, and with the right family, he will become the loyal and loving companion you’ve been searching for. Blue has been diagnosed with canine paroxysmal dyskinesia, but this condition does not hold him back. His movement disorder is effectively managed with a low-stress environment and medication. Having spent the last two months in a foster home, Blue has made significant progress with housebreaking and crate training. He’s a playful goofball who enjoys galloping around the yard, but he’s also a sweetheart who loves to snuggle up and watch TV with you. Blue can be nervous around new people, so he needs an experienced owner who is patient and has the time and resources to help him continue to develop. He enjoys playing with other dogs and is currently being fostered alongside his sister, Nala, who is also available for adoption.

Ideal Home

Blue needs a patient family ready to help him overcome his fears and become the confident dog we know he can be. He also needs a calm, understanding environment where he feels safe and loved. A fenced-in yard is required, and he would do best in a home with children 16 and older.

Ongoing Health

Blue has been diagnosed with canine paroxysmal dyskinesia. This condition is effectively managed with a low-stress environment and medication.

Training & Support

Blue has made significant progress with housebreaking and crate training. He would benefit from consistent training and positive reinforcement to support his continued growth.
