Blue A0057054507

Blue was surrendered into Animal Friends' care after his owner passed away. Due to his previous owner being sick, Blue was not taken out regularly and will likely need a bit of work to re-learn housetraining. The family member surrendering the dog did not know too much about Blue but stated that he did well meeting new people and had previously been around kids, cats, and dogs and done well. When assessed for adoption at the shelter, staff noted that Blue was easy to leash up and walked well on leash. He responded to the command sit and took treats gently. He really seemed to enjoy playing with toys and squeaky toys were his favorite. Blue was a little bit dramatic for his heartworm test, but with some extra help they were able to get it done. He allowed all body handling and was a very sweet boy! He was dog tested while on leash with another male and female dog. He initially appeared a little timid, but was willing to greet and sniff the other dogs and they all walked around together without issues. Blue is current on shots, licensed, and microchipped. All dogs over 6 months have been heartworm tested, and all dogs are treated monthly for fleas/ticks and are on Heartworm prevention (NexGard PLUS). All pets are spayed/neutered prior to a finalized adoption. All our dogs receive a behavior assessment before being placed for adoption to determine initial behaviors towards people and other dogs in the shelter environment. If you have questions about an animal please have their name and ID number ready and contact shelter staff by: (1) visiting Animal Friends during our open hours, (2) calling 513-867-5727, or (3) emailing [email protected].

People visiting the shelter in person or viewing animals on our website will note that all of our dogs are labeled as “Mixed Breeds” unless they have been DNA tested or are surrendered to the shelter with paperwork. Any potential breeds listed here on PetFinder are not assumed to be accurate and are merely a starting point for people to be able to search for a dog who may visually resemble a breed they are interested in. We feel that the best matches are made based on a dog’s individual personality and recommend families come meet our animals in person and/or utilize our Foster to Adopt program to see if that dog is a good fit for their home.
