Blue (FKA Girdie) Blue is an approximately 3 year old mixed breed male dog that came into the shelter as a stray. His finder said that Blue was friendly, cuddly and playful with him and liked to get belly rubs. As Blue settled into the shelter, it was noted that he had an extremely goofy personality and quickly won the hearts of the staff and volunteers that he interacted with. He has had several good meets with other dogs and has loved all of the people he has met. Per Foster 8/16: Blue is the best little boy! , Blue has plenty of puppy energy but also just loves to cuddle up with his human. He is very silly and friendly with everybody! Very friendly with other dogs, and he does not seem to be bothered by cats. He's very quiet in the house, and very well behaved, potty trained and crate trained. He loves doing sit and down for treats! Adopt Blue for the most loyal sweet and friendly companion :) Per foster 6/11: He has been doing really well! He is a very good boy and even though he has lots of energy, he is very well behaved. He is very quiet, I've only heard him bark once so far when he was trying to protect me. He is good in his crate, potty trained, and is not bothered by cats. Very friendly with people and other dogs. Also likes kids I think. He enjoys long walks and loves the grass and won't tire out too easy. Totally punk. Also fine with shorter walks and does his business quick. Literally the perfect dog. I would keep him if this house wasn't managed by my cats! Blue's volunteer and staff friends had this to say about him: Per volunteer 6/2: Girdie is the most delightful and playful boy. He's a friendly guy that seeks to get pets and scratches in any position he can. He doesn't sit still for too long. Girdie would lie on my left side for pets, and then after a few minutes, he would try getting pets while lying by my right side. Sometimes he would sit next to me and lean in for butt scratches, and then other times he would roll onto his back for belly scratches. He's a sweet boy that wanted to be as close to me as possible. When I offered Girdie treats, he would sit still for a few seconds before gently accepting the snack. Girdie was easy to walk and not a problem returning to his kennel. Per staff on 5/22:Had such a sweet interaction with Girdie this AM in kennel. He immediately came to the front with soft eyes, wiggling, with mid level wags. He leaned into scratches through the kennel, and gave some kisses too. Per staff on 5/20:I love Girdie! He has such a nice, calm kennel presence. He is a sweetie Per staff on 5/9:Girdie was a very interesting pup to hang out with- he has A LOT of personality. Once in the room Girdie ran around exploring and then ran back over to me submissive smiling. He was very affectionate and wiggly, leaning in and smushing himself into my lap for cuddles and attention. He did this with multiple other handlers as well. He was very handler oriented and while he was eager to explore he spent most of his time interacting with me while outside. At times while he ran around he would sway or faceplant, unsure if it was due to behavioral or medical (was flagged for medical) and would randomly plop over. It seemed more so like a behavioral quirk with stress and arousal added in. He allowed all over handling and would plop over into my lap often and allowed belly rubs as well. At times if he was too stressed or aroused he would begin to mouth but it was easy to calm him down again by grabbing the leash or talking to him. He showed knowledge of sit and took treats gently as well, but most of the time would spit them back out at me. He has a lot of personality and would benefit from placement that can help manage his high stress levels Per staff on 5/9:Gerdie is housebroken.
