About BLUEBERRY

TO BE KILLED - DEC. 16, 2020 Wowza!!! Did you know Blueberry was this good looking? We didn't. He's gorgeous. Blueberry came into the shelter scared, nervous and confused like all the other companion pets that are losing their families and their homes. He's been a pretty scared boy but he's coming around now and he loves to sniff around and explore the yard, check out what other pooches are in the same boat as him and he enjoys getting attention and affection from the shelter staff and volunteers too but he would enjoy it so much more in a steady and stable loving home with his very own family. Blueberry is such a hunk weighing in at 85 lbs; hunky, athletic and not for the faint of heart. He needs an experienced, kind and caring BFF to come through and save the day. Dont procrastinate. Blue is OUT OF TIME!
