Blu – Adopted

Male, approx 2 years

SPECIAL NEEDS DOG – PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE APPLYING
Meet BLU, a sweet ~2-year-old boy looking for a loving home. BLU is a beautifully marked medium coat Border Collie mix, weighing in at 38 pounds. BLU may have been under-socialized as a puppy as he is a dog sensitive to change and/or to environments where he feels he has no control. He wants to trust and loves to play with other dogs, but has a high startle response. He is happiest when he has a dog buddy, a calm household, and a solid routine.

BLU has come a long way since coming into rescue. He will cuddle and loves to be petted. He will take a treat gently from your hand (once trust is built), and has started to give kisses. He loves, loves, loves to play with other dogs. A dog mate who loves to run and play would be a good partner for him.

BLU gets along fine with his foster packmates, with no issues or arguments. He’ll need a slow-paced home environment with lots of gentle human contact. A home with knowledge of fearful dog behavior is preferred. BLU has a clean bill of health, is heartworm negative, and up to date on his vaccinations. He has had no accidents in the house, is crate-trained and sleeps all night through.

BLU is micro-chipped, neutered, heart worm negative and on preventative, and up to date on vaccinations.

If you have an approved adoption application with Border Collie Rescue of Northern California let us know and we will request it be forwarded to us for consideration.

BLU is being fostered in Granite Bay CA
