Blue

Blue is an adoptable female Staffordshire Bull Terrier looking for a home at BARC Animal Shelter in Houston, Texas. She is a young adult and large in size. She is listed on the shelter's euthanasia list, listed due to lack of space, and that date has now passed. Shelters often move these dates, so Blue may still be waiting. The shelter can confirm.

May have come in with Vance (ID #2102350), who is still at BARC. ⸻ 🩺 Medical Notes: Blue was assessed as medically normal and tested heartworm NEGATIVE! She has received routine vaccinations, deworming, and parasite prevention. ⸻ Behavior Notes: Blue is overwhelmed by the shelter environment. Initially, she was tense, frightened, and growled when approached. Her more recent evaluations reveal another side of her! Blue greeted staff with a loose, relaxed body, soft eyes, and a gently wagging tail. She allowed herself to be leashed easily and walked outside, although she pulls strongly on leash. Blue has also been observed growling and lunging when other dogs pass by, and crying periodically during cleaning. Staff covered her kennel to reduce stimulation. Behind Blue's defensive reactions is a frightened young dog who has shown she can relax and connect with people.
