Notes from Project Hope Animal
Hi, I'm Blue.
I'm 4½ years old, and I never imagined I'd be looking for a new family.
My family loves me with all their hearts. Because of circumstances completely beyond their control, they have to let me go. They are absolutely heartbroken, and honestly... I am too. This isn't what any of us wanted. They just want to make sure I'm safe, loved, and happy, even if it can't be with them.
I'm a big boy—92 pounds of love—but don't let my size fool you. I'm really just a gentle giant who wants to be close to my people. One of my favorite things is curling up beside you at night for snuggles. I also love blueberries, bananas, Milk-Bone treats, and a good game of fetch.
I'm neutered, healthy, up to date on my vaccines, crate trained (although lately I feel better if the crate door stays open, I have some separation anxiety), potty trained, and I walk well on a leash. I'm a smart guy and already know how to be a good house dog. I get along with other dogs, although I can be selective, so slow introductions are best.
Lately I've been feeling a little anxious. My whole world has changed, and I don't understand why. I'm trying my best, but I just want to know that I'm safe and that someone isn't going to leave me behind again.
I may be about 40% German Shepherd and 40% American Bully, but I'm 100% loyal to the people I love.
Right now, I need a miracle.
I need a foster home or, even better, a forever family willing to give me the stability, patience, and love I deserve. Every day that passes is another day my family worries about what will happen to me. I don't want to lose hope... I'm just waiting for someone to choose me.
Could you be the person who gives me my happy ending?
