*Available for rescue groups only.* If you are looking for a quiet dog, then Blue is your guy. Easy to walk on a leash and knowledgeable of commands, Blue (8 yrs old, Terrier mix, 62 pounds) is the perfect companion for that person looking for a low-key best friend. Blue is shy and needs time to get comfortable with new people, but once he does, he's bonded to that person. Due to his nervousness around new places and people, Blue has not been able to find the right home and is now one of our longest resident, waiting since April 2018. His ideal setting would be in an adult only home, with no other pets. Once you get to know Blue you will see behind his regal mannerism and stoic personality is a dog searching for someone to trust and to love. If you are a rescue group interested in helping Blue, please email us: rescue@hempsteadny.gov
