Story
Sometimes a puppy comes along who doesn’t have to do much to steal your heart. All it takes is one look—those soft green eyes gazing up at you—and you know exactly what he’s asking. “Please pick me up.” And that is how everyone falls in love with Bleu. This special male puppy is a beautiful chocolate-and-white Border Collie mix puppy with a gentle nature and a talent for charming every human he meets. He may still be young, but he already knows how to work a room with his sweet face and calm, affectionate personality. Bleu is one of three brothers—along with Zane and Snoop Dog—who came into the care of Critter Cavalry Rescue after their story appeared in a Facebook post. A rural Tennessee family was simply giving the puppies away, and situations like that can quickly lead to unsafe futures. CCR stepped in to ensure these boys would instead have the chance to grow up safe, healthy, and well-loved. Since arriving in rescue, the puppies have been raised in foster homes where they receive medical care, guidance, structure, and plenty of affection. We like to call it our Puppy Kingdom—a place where puppies learn routines, social skills, and what it means to be part of a loving home. Born around the first of January, Bleu is getting close to the age when he will be ready to leave the nest. Soon he will say goodbye to his brothers and the foster family who has cared for him so lovingly, and begin the next chapter with a family of his very own. Bleu is the quiet observer of the trio. He’s the smallest brother by about a pound, but his personality is wonderfully unique. While his siblings may jump into everything first, Bleu prefers to watch, think, and then join in. He loves to lounge nearby, soaking in the world around him, before suddenly launching into playful zoomies. He’s also the most talkative of the group in the sweetest way. Bleu expresses himself with little groans, soft barks, and gentle whines when something surprises him—like getting a vaccination. His foster family lovingly calls him their “sensitive boy,” because he simply feels things deeply and bonds closely with the people around him. Bleu has already done an excellent job learning the doggie door and is doing very well with potty training. He’s a thoughtful learner who just needs a family willing to continue teaching and encouraging him as he grows. All three brothers are incredibly social and affectionate. They love meeting people, enjoy other dogs, and even share their home with a confident orange tabby cat who clearly runs the household. The puppies have learned to treat their feline roommate with great respect. Bleu is sweet, charming, and full of potential. We are hoping to find an active home—especially one familiar with Border Collies—that will appreciate his thoughtful personality and give him the love, activity, and companionship he deserves. He will be ready to travel from Nashville to the Northeast on March 28th to meet his forever family.
