Learn more about the Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie. Look at how handsome our little boy Blue is! Blue is a 7 year old Shetland sheepdog, aka Sheltie. Blue is approximately 20 pounds and initially came to us as a breeder release in the WNY area. Sadly, Blue spent most of his life in a crate up until now. We know the rest of his life will be better now. No more life in a crate for you Blue!
Blue is the sweetest little guy. We believe with time and patience, he will continue to blossom in his forever home. He is still learning to be a real dog and is nervous in new situations. Blue will need a quieter home, with another dog to show him the ropes, and a fully fenced-in yard (no invisible or electric fences, please). Since being in rescue, Blue has learned some new things about the human world. He has learned that he can go outside to potty. Blue enjoys exploring the outside world. He is doing amazingly well on his house training, but we always say to expect accidents initially when transitioning into a new home. Once he learns your routine, Blue will follow the lead of your dog when it comes to outside time.
Everything is new to Blue, and should be treated like an adult puppy, even a leash, or maneuvering stairs is a new concept to Blue. Blue has found his voice too. He gets excited when the microwave goes off. That little box tends to bring out warm food. Human treats are delicious! Blue is not a pup that will seek out affection. Those delicious treats will help win him over. When his foster pup plays with toys, Blue wants to see what the commotion is all about. Blue isn’t quite ready to play, but it looks like it may be fun at some point. Blue finds comfort in his crate; it’s his safe spot. Blue is willing to sleep in it in at night or during the day while you are at work.
If you think you have the time to continue to work with Blue, make sure you apply today. Blue is neutered, up to date with vaccines, microchipped, flea/worm treated and tested neg. for heartworm. His adoption fee is $450
