My names Blue, and I'm a terrier mix. To be honest, I'm stressed in the shelter and just a bit unsure of shelter life. The last thing I remember was being dumped at a local vet office (which is super stressful), there was a lot of "I've never seen this dog before" and then I was just left there. I was then picked up and brought to the animal shelter; and life has gotten a bit better for me. I get all these super comfy beds, dog toys and I love when I get to go on the trail walks; so I am starting to settle in. I am a really good boy! (I'm not just saying that! I like to make friends, it just takes me a little bit. As long as you are willing to give me some time to trust, I promise we can be friends. I would do best in a home where I have encouragement to face the world. I want to go on adventures, with you giving me guidance. I know my forever people will give me their heart, can it be you?
