Meet Blue-ADOPTED

8/27/2010: Blue's foster mom says that he is a sweet boy. Blue has two cats in the household with him now and he is great with dog-savvy cats.



Blue likes to play fetch and will bring a ball back to you if you clap your hands. His foster mom also says that he rides very well in the back seat of the car.



Beautiful Blue - he has been through WAY too much since the early morning of May 18th - he was wandering along a highway in TN when he was hit by a car and left to die in the middle of the road. Just minutes later a wonderful lady saw him in her lane and he lifted his head. Another good Samaritan blocked ongoing traffic so that the lady could scoop him up and put him in her car.



Blue was in shock and covered in blood but the nice lady rushed him to an emergency vet who cared for him and sent him to a specialist. He was stabilized and surgically repaired over the next weeks and months. At first he required around-the-clock care just to move from side to side so as not to develop bed sores. His hip was successfully repaired and his elbow was manipulated back into place.



Brave Blue has been through so much but still wags his tail and gives doggie kisses. His doctor and all the staff who cared for Blue say he is the sweetest, friendliest boy who should make someone a wonderful family pet. During a recent photo session, Blue was nothing but friendly the entire photo session and totally ignored the little attitude of the resident Yorkie. Both of the photographers had wished for a movie camera because Blue was too funny with his Nylabone. If they weren't playing fetch with him, he would toss it sideways for himself and go fetch and return. He is one very smart boy. He already knows "sit" and caught on very quickly to "down." When he went into his crate, the pad was in a wad, and he straightened it all out before lying down. After he eats, he stacks his empty bowls. :)



His foster mom says he has not had an accident in her house since the first week he was there. He has run of the house when they are home, and he sleeps with her 17 y/o son. He is living in peace and harmony with 3 Yorkies, one of which is a new mom with a 2 wk old baby. He's a heart stealer for sure.
Although he is an energetic boy who loves to play, he also knows when it's time to rest. He loves to snuggle with his humans. Blue is house-trained and crate-trained.



Blue is about 1 -1/2 to 2 years old and appears to be a pit/border collie mix, he is strong but not especially large as you can see. He is even more handsome in person, and has a slight brindle to his coat that's only noticeable in the sunlight. When not playing, he is asking for belly rubs and pats on the head. The only issue we see is he is a little mouthy as he plays. He does not hurt or intend to hurt--he always uses his soft mouth; it's just that no one has ever taught him that's not the way to play. We totally agree with his foster mom and doctor that he is an awesome dog who will make a lucky someone a great family pet.



Blue is now healed up and ready for his forever home. Won't you give this boy a chance at a happy life? Please contact us today for an adoption application. You can see more info on our website at www.luckypuprescue.org. Our adoption fee is $300.00 which won't even begin to touch the medical bills Blue has amassed. We hope to bring him north soon if we can find a loving indoor foster home.
