Could you be the calm, supportive sanctuary this gentle boy needs right now? Blue is a striking lad with a sleek black tuxedo coat, a crisp white blaze running right down the center of his forehead, and a soft, attentive gaze that immediately tells you how deeply sweet he is.

Having recently undergone surgery to amputate his left hind leg following a femoral fracture, Blue is officially on the mend and looking for a dedicated home to support his healing process. This big sweetheart is adjusting beautifully to life on three legs and is focusing all of his energy on a smooth recovery. He is a truly gentle soul who appreciates a quiet environment where he can rest comfortably, take it easy, and soak up all the quiet affection you are ready to give.

Open your heart to foster Blue today and help this sweet boy heal.

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
