A home for Blu
My foster mom Cathy wrote up the kind of home that I would like. We have spent a lot of time together, so she really know me well. All I know is that is that I would really like to find my forever home, so if you know someone that would like a big, social, but calm dog… tell them about me.
From Cathy the foster mom…
Blu loves people, but due to his size and young age, may do better in a home with older children as opposed to young toddlers, since he has a tendency to follow closely to people and may knock a small child down by accident. He loves to follow his people from room to room and make sure everyone is doing okay.
He needs someone who can take him for walks. With a daily walk, he gets bored. He doesn’t have to walk real far or for real long, but he loves to get out and sniff. He does have an Easy-Walk Harness which will go with him to his forever home (along with his bed and food dishes)
Due to his tendency to chase squirrels and small animals, he needs a fenced in yard or to be put on a lead when outside. This behavior is improving, but I don’t feel comfortable letting him out off leash, just in case.
Very social, gets along with other dogs (size doesn’t matter) and cats. He also respects their requests to be left alone most of the time.
Loves being outdoors (as long as someone is with him), loves car rides, walks, meeting people.
Laid back personality most of the time, though he will play fetch and tug of war, but he needs encouragement first to start playing. Like many foster dogs from rural areas, he is just learning about toys.
Loves attention, petting, hugs, brushing, belly rubs. He makes good eye contact and did great in obedience classes at Narnia.
Commands: Sit, lay down, settle, shake, stay, come, off, forward, halt (still working on this one), roll over (still learning), quiet (knows what it means, but doesn’t obey this one quickly). He has a GREAT prancing heel and while he hasn’t been taught this formally, with a little training it would look really cute! 
Walks well on leash, but tendency to pull, especially at first, so needs someone strong to be holding the leash (an adult or older teen perhaps).
He does bark, and it can be loud, so not a good dog for an apartment. While we don’t know what he is, somewhere in him is defiantly some time of hound because he does have that hound howl.
Doesn’t chew and isn’t destructive to furniture, etc.
Semi crate-trained meaning he will go in it and stay in in but he prefers not to.
