Blue's Story

Blue originally came from animal control, where he was at risk of being euthanized due to lack of space. He has been adopted once since entering our care, but unfortunately, he was returned because he was too protective of his owner. <br/><br/>Blue takes a little time to warm up to new people, but once he does, he becomes a loyal companion. The downside is that he doesn't like to share his person and can be territorial about his home and owner. Therefore, Blue would do best in a home without other pets and with owners who don't have many visitors and are willing to put him away whenever guests come over. <br/><br/>Blue is house-trained, knows basic commands, and walks wonderfully on a leash. He also lives to play ball and would play all day long if you let him. Could you be Blue’s one and only?
