Story
Meet Blue, the lively 5-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix overflowing with energy, affection, and friendliness. Blue's exuberant personality shines through in her playful nature and boundless enthusiasm for life.

According to Blue's previous pet parent she is housebroken and settles well when crated.

His love for play knows no bounds, whether it's chasing after a ball or frolicking with his beloved toys. However, it's recommended that Jagger be the only animal in the home. While he may take some time to warm up to new people, once he's comfortable, he's a picture of calm and contentment. Jagger would be an ideal companion for older children who can understand his boundaries.
