Hi, I'm Blue! I love exploring every nook and cranny of my shelter home, always on the lookout for a new adventure. My days are filled with playgroups where I show off my goofy antics and make everyone laugh. I'm pretty smart, too, quickly learning new games and tricks. After a fun day, there's nothing better than cuddling up with my friends. I'm loyal and always ready for a play or a snuggle. If you're looking for a fun-loving, cuddly companion, I'm your guy! Let's make endless memories together.

Story
My Pet name is Axel .. 3 years ago I found him in Kennesaw walking by himself as a stray so I took him in. Axel is very sweet filled with love and very protective. He is a friend when he need him he will lay under you and keep you warm. Axel is potty trained . I mostly leave him out the cage unless I’m at work because he like to get into things . He is kid friendly. Some what friendly to other dogs he have to smell them first lol . He is scary if you touch him he might not let you in the beginning. You will love him as a pet I had him for 3 years but I’m a single mom with a 7 week old and it’s to much for me to take care of them both

Story
Rylo is a very good home trained dog and needs a good home. He listens very good and does not give me any problems. I unfortunately experienced something very traumatic and lost my boyfriend in front of me and I need to rehome him. I cannot take care of him anymore the way I used to due to personal reasons. He would be better off with in another home that can properly care for him. I have tried for two months to get a shelter to take him in and unfortunately they are all at capacity. I really cannot keep him anymore and would hope someone could take him in a care for him because he really is a great dog.
