Blue

Blue / M / 3Y / 19lbs / Boston Terrier / Fostered in Owen Sound

Blue is looking for a special home! This little guy came to us from a shelter in Quebec where he was an owner surrender but escaped the shelter and was on the run for almost a month. He was finally caught and returned to the shelter. He was very underweight when he came to us but he's already gained a few pounds in the living care of his foster! He loves his toys, snacks and belly rubs. His foster says her favourite thing about him is "His piglet curled tail and of course his one blue eye. And he is a complete sweetheart at home!". He is described as energetic and playful when engaging with him, cuddly, and will chill with you when he knows you want to relax.

Blue is house trained and crate trained. He walks well on leash in a quiet area with no distractions. He is reactive to other dogs, joggers, bikes or anything that approaches him too quickly. He will bark and pull but he is getting better with his engage/disengage training. This is something his adopter will need to continue to work on with him though and he would benefit from continuing his training with a professional trainer. He is medium energy and is currently getting 3-4 walks a day. He has shown no separation anxiety and has been left up to 7hrs alone with no issues. He has not shown any guarding behaviours either. 

Blue is cautious when meeting new people and prefers to meet people on neutral territory as he can bark at new people and be protective when they enter his home. He would likely be ok with another dog with slow introductions, but would prefer to be an only dog. No cats. He would be ok with kids 14+. He is looking for a quiet home in a quiet area. He needs a confident and experienced handler who will continue to work on his confidence building and reactivity. He is such a sweet little guy!
