Blue

Blue is a 2-year-old Anatolian Shepherd and Australian Shepherd mix with a beautiful blue merle coat and a warmth in her eyes that draws you in. She has a gentle, soulful presence and a quiet sweetness that makes you want to know her.<br/><br/>Blue is deeply kind-natured and especially trusting of other animals. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs, even puppies, and adjusts her play style to match them despite the size difference. She is also gentle with cats and would do best in a home with other animals, as they help her feel safe and bring out her playful side. Watching her zoom around the yard with her dog friends or toss toys in the air is pure joy.<br/><br/>While Blue can be shy when meeting new people, she truly wants connection. You can see it in the way she leans in just a little closer, hoping for affection. Once she feels comfortable, she blossoms into a loving companion who enjoys pets, belly rubs, and staying close to her people. She gives the sweetest nuzzles and has a soft, snuggly side that makes her incredibly special.<br/><br/>Blue is making great progress with her training. She is learning crate training and doing very well, and she is on the right track with house training when given guidance and routine. She rides nicely in the car and is currently learning leash walking.<br/><br/>Because she can be easily startled, especially by quick movements or noise, Blue would do best in a calm, adult home where she can continue to build confidence at her own pace. With patience, consistency, and love, she will truly thrive. The family who gives her that chance will get to watch her grow into the confident, happy dog she is meant to be.<br/><br/>Blue is a gentle heart who just needs someone to believe in her. In the right home, she will absolutely bloom.<br/><br/>Medical Information:<br/>• Spayed<br/>• Up to date on vaccinations<br/>• Heartworm tested (negative)<br/>• Fecal tested (negative)<br/>• On heartworm and flea preventative<br/><br/>Adoption Fee: $300<br/>This fee includes all veterinary care, grooming, and supplies, and helps support our ongoing rescue efforts for other dogs in need.
