My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

MEET BLU!

Blu arrived on our doorstep as a stray, but we have gathered very valuable information about how he does in a home from time he spent in foster. He can be trusted when left alone, he is fully potty trained in a home, and he is friendly with all humans and even older children! He is extremely intellegent and food motivated, and picks up new skills before you even put them down! He loves to hang out outdoors and would make an excellent hiking or running partner to encourage his owner to get outside. He would even love to participate in a competitive dog sport like agility! He is friendly with other dogs, but does best with young active dogs who have a similar play style to him. His fosters have done a great job with crate training him and teaching him to walk respectfully on a leash. Despite his breed he would do well in a variety of environments, including apartments as long as he gets the exercise and stimulation he needs.

Blu is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been neutered, microchipped and been seen by our vet team.

For more information on Blu or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston, please call us at 617-426-9170. We welcome adopters from NH, RI, CT, and NY. However, we will be unable to facilitate same day adoptions due to state regulated paperwork requirements. Also, be sure to check out our:

Additional adoption info

The Animal Rescue League of Boston is committed to matching adoptable animals with a permanent home.

We require the following as part of the adoption process:
* Adopter must be 18 years of age or older
* A current government-issued ID (no student IDs)
* Have a conversation with an ARL adoption counselor
* A photo of the cage your pet will live in, if adopting a small animal or bird

More about this shelter

Situated 10 miles southwest of Boston on the beautiful grounds of the former summer sanctuary for the city’s working horses, ARL’s newly remodeled shelter in Dedham, Massachusetts is just a glimpse into ARL’s bold future. The new modern shelter design allows us to provide even more animals with high-quality direct animal care that meets best-practice standards in animal welfare.
