Story

Meet Blue, the lively 5-year-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix overflowing with energy, affection, and friendliness. Blue's exuberant personality shines through in her playful nature and boundless enthusiasm for life. Blue also adores snuggling up in her bed with a cozy blanket, finding comfort and warmth in quiet moments of relaxation. She's mastered the art of being housebroken and settles well when crated according to her previous owner. However, Blue's exuberance for life means she's best suited to be the only animal in the home, as she tends to chase after animals in the yard or within reach. While she may need a bit of guidance with leash walking, her excitement to explore the world and meet new people is infectious. Given her tendency to be excitable, Blue would thrive best in a home without children. If you're searching for a loyal and spirited companion to share your adventures and brighten your days, Blue is ready and waiting to become your new best friend.
