My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Blue has been very good, and this girl needs a home! She has been at the shelter for over a year. She is a cuddle bug who will make a terrific couch potato! She enjoys stuffed animal toys and gets the occasional burst of energy (especially with a kiddie pool!), but mostly she's a low-key pup. Blue will need someone who understands her breed (pit mix) and provides a calm home with no other pets or young children. She may do ok with older, respectful teenagers who understand her boundaries. Active, younger children are too much for her. Blue is waiting to meet you and her adoption fee is only $25 for an approved adopter.
