History:

Blue came into us after a change in his family’s circumstance and he wasn’t able to go with them. He was a much-loved pet and this shows in his lovely, balanced nature.

Current:

Blue is currently at our Worcester kennels. He is a confident playful boy, he hasn’t been bothered by coming into kennels.

He loves his walks and a good game of tug or ball in the cuddle room afterwards. His tail is always wagging.

Walking:

Blue loves going for a walk and walks well on the lead. He is very chilled-out walking down the lanes and loves a good sniff in the hedgerows.

He hasn’t reacted to dogs in their gardens or passing dogs whilst out walking. We have walked him in the company of Bullseye, but at a safe distance that they couldn’t touch. He didn’t show any reaction at all.

His previous owners told us he doesn’t like dogs in his face and would be better as an only dog.

Travelling:

We haven’t travelled Blue yet, but will do very soon.

Vets:

The vet comes to kennels to see our dogs - Blue was a good boy for his health check, but was not so happy once he realised the vet wanted to give vaccinations and take bloods. He became a little stressed and it was decided the least stressful method for Blue was to sedate him.

Health issues:

He has had a full health check including blood tests. All his bloods came back within normal ranges.

His coat is a little thin in places along his back and we were advised he had a bit of a problem with his coat about 3 years ago. Being a blue boy, we feel this could be allergy related and so we have cut out poultry from his diet and he seems to be fine.

Ideal home:

• Blue will need to be the only pet in the home.

• He could live with children aged 6 years +.

• Blue can be left for short periods, but he really loves you being with him.

• He is house trained and doesn’t chew.

Standard information:

Blue is microchipped, vaccinated and neutered.

He is currently in kennels in Worcestershire, but he can be rehomed anywhere in the UK pending a successful home visit. However, any adopter should be willing to travel to meet him at least twice where he is now.

There is a non-refundable adoption donation of £120 for Blue and all money donated goes directly to helping all the Senior Staffies in our care.
