Story
Blue is a wonderful 2-year-old hound who is kind, obedient, well behaved, and great with both people and other dogs. He is a happy, loving, energetic boy who has so much love to give. Blue spends a lot of the day happily sleeping, but when he’s awake, he loves to get his energy out! He enjoys playing with his toys, sniffing and exploring on walks, and especially thrives with companionship—whether that’s a person or another dog. There are truly no major complaints about Blue. He is a very good dog, and our decision to rehome him is simply because having a newborn means we can’t give him the time, attention, companionship, and outdoor adventures he needs to be as happy and fulfilled as he deserves. We want Blue to have a home where he can get plenty of love, attention, and time outside. He deserves a family who can give him the happy life he is capable of having. ❤️
