Blueberry is the very best! She loves all people of all sizes and does not seem to care about cats in her space. She is good with dogs who are quieter/calm however does not seem to enjoy higher energy young dogs so a home without other dogs would likely be best for this girl. She also loves car rides!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Blueberry, A Sweet, Smart, and Loving Companion
Blueberry is truly a gem! From the moment she arrived, it was clear she had been well loved before. She’s happy, confident, and eager to please, with a beautiful coat and an even lovelier personality to match.
Blueberry enjoys the simple joys in life, a good walk, a sunny spot in the yard, or a cozy nap by your side. She’s the perfect balance of playful and relaxed: she’ll happily explore outdoors with you, then settle in quietly with a chew toy or bone while you work or unwind.
This girl is polite and trustworthy around the house. She’s kennel trained but doesn’t need to be confined, and she’s never chewed on anything she shouldn’t. She loves belly rubs, ear scratches, and any bit of affection you’re willing to give. In fact, she may nudge you gently just to remind you she’s there for love.
Being an Australian Shepherd mix, Blueberry is bright and responsive. She knows her basic commands (sit, down, stay, come) and takes direction well. She’s improving on her leash manners and only needs occasional reminders not to pull. Like most dogs, she’s curious about squirrels and other critters, but she redirects easily with a bit of guidance.
Blueberry is also on a healthy living journey. She’s a bit heavier than ideal but is steadily slimming down with the help of nutritious food, healthy snacks (carrots, apples, and peas are her favorites!), and regular walks.
Who’s the Best Fit for Blueberry
Blueberry would thrive in a loving home where she can be part of daily life, whether that’s relaxing on the porch, joining you for walks, or curling up at your feet. She’d likely do best as the only dog or with a calm, low-energy canine companion. Her ideal family will enjoy spending time with her, giving her affection, and keeping her mind and body active.
If you’re looking for a loyal, gentle, and easygoing best friend who’s as sweet as her name, Blueberry is your girl. You won’t be disappointed!
Adoption Fee: $510 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
