He and I went on a little road trip yesterday and he was an absolute delight to spend time with!  Midus rides very nicely in a vehicle, was a perfect gentleman at the vet clinic where he was totally nonreactive to several dogs barking near us, loved meeting all the staff. We also stopped at Natural Pet Center to pick up some goodies and he again was so happy to meet people there as well.  Did I mention Midus is a Corgi?!  With his happy go lucky demeanor and cute low rider body he is going to make some family or person a top notch companion!  Midus is dog friendly too.To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org March 9, 2026, 11:42 pm

A grade 2 heart murmur in dogs is a soft, low-grade murmur that is immediately audible to a veterinarian with a stethoscope, but only heard in a specific area of the heart.. At this time he is not clinical and does not require any medications. This should be monitored by his primary care veterinarian.   Special Ops Camo wants a forever squad to call his own.   Foster Home Feedback  Check back in a few days for some foster home feedback. &#226&#128&#139 To view additional dogs available for adoption, please see our website: www.4luvofdog.org March 9, 2026, 11:42 pm

Story
Blue is an amazing dog. He is 5 years old and in good health. He is very loyal, sweet, playful and gentle. He loves to play with his other half Moon or play with toys. He loves just being around his family and is very loyal to us. We are very sad to rehome him but I am further downsizing and just do not have the time or space to give Blue and Moon what they deserve. They grew up on 8 acres but have been in town for a year in a small yard and we now need to move to an apartment. Blue lives to run, jump, play, chase, and when we were on acreage took his job of watching over the birds seriously. He also loves to snuggle up with or just be near his family. He is house trained and do well as a mostly outdoor dog and now as a mostly indoor dog. If he is going to be more of a pet than a farm dog he will need daily walks. Blue is hoping he can go to his new home with his companion Moon as they so enjoy each other but this is open to discussion. Please reach out with questions!
