Blue - Chocolate Labrador Retriever and Husky Dog for Adoption in Terra Cotta, Ontario

Introducing Blue, a newbie lab x husky boy who is a hoot to watch figure out this big new world in his foster home. Some of his new habits include watching TV (ears twitching, tail wagging), taking pens off the side table to lord over his playmates and balls & toys, oh boy oh boy! There is something so satisfying about watching Blue find a whole different side of his personality as he's feelings safer.

Blue lived up north with a gentleman elder who took him to his camp often so Blue is used to being offleash and will walk right beside you. When you stop, he stops. For some reason, when he's on a leash he can pull but he snaps out of it if you remind him and walks nicely by your side again. Blue's love of balls and his chocolate brown coat are reminiscent of his lab heritage but more than a husky cross, he often looks more like a Wylie Coyote cross the way he cocks his head and moves with his jaunty little trot.

Dogs who are new to foster are like onions - every day another layer peels away to reveal more of who they will become. Since arriving Blue has learned what it is like to live inside a house, start crate training, receive food every day/twice a day, and what seems to be the biggest deal for him is being patted. It must be like how we feel getting the BEST head massage because he wiggles and twists with absolute ecstasy. When your hand gets towards his tail, he can't stand it anymore and he will lick, lick, lick your hand. In fact, licking his foster's hand, ankle, arm or clothes is his way of showing his appreciation and affection.

Blue is great with other dogs and would love a home with another playful pup. He lived with older kids in his previous life so kids are on the table too, especially if they can throw a ball and pat him. Blue is great in the car especially if there's fun at the other end of the drive. All and all this fellow is the perfect medium size, the perfect mature age, and the perfect kind and joyful personality. Grateful, respectful, fun and blossoming, all he needs now is his very own family.

Blue is up to date on core vaccinations, neutered, microchipped and dewormed. His adoption fee is $850. He is currently fostering in Caledon.

Adoption process includes application, virtual home visit, phone interview, reference check, meet & greet, adoption contract and $850 adoption fee.
