My story

Bluey was found in the field of a Catholic Church School while our rescuer was trying to trap another dog. He was with the other dog but the only one of the two that was able to be caught. He didn't know it at the time, but he is lucky, and will now live the good life as a Colorado boy! When I first saw Bluey my immediate thought was "bowling ball." Other thoughts might be "potato" or "Roly Poly." He rolls all right- right out of bed to his bowl for a meal. He likes to sleep a lot in his crate like a potato. He does this funny thing when he's outside on the grass and throws himself back and gives you his belly. Then like a Roly Poly, or Ladybug stuck on her back- he is stuck on his back. Bluey is very capable of being an active, healthy, medium energy dog, with the right, motivational human. He's already super playful, silly and loves to play chase with his best friend Hanalei. Bluey is good with female dogs big and small, kids, but not always good with male dogs- he's selective. Bluey has been with his rescuer in San Antonio, Texas for a year now, but he just heard about Colorado and he's pumped! Or he'll get pumped? One of the two. Either way, let's get this ball rolling, literally, roll him North up to Colorado- he just need an adopter or committed foster please. ***Bluey is being posted on behalf of our partner rescue in Texas- the process and adoption will go through them. The adoption fee does not include the transport fee (usually $125-200/per dog).*** Red Fern Animal Rescue is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foster-based animal rescue in Denver that saves animals from abandonment and neglect in South Texas for new lives in Colorado. We primarily rescue dogs off the streets and from kill shelters in San Antonio. ##2671545##

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Bluey, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
