About
CHARACTERISTICS~ Curious, Friendly, Loves, Playful, Quiet
COAT LENGTH~《Medium
HOUSE-TRAINED~ Yes
HEALTH~ Vaccinations up to date.

Meet Mister Blue
Blue was brought to the shelter by the police department. He had a habit of getting loose and investigating the neighborhood. This became a problem for the neighbors.

Blue is a nice boy. He is strong, having Shepherd in his bloodline, and he loves to run, most likely attributed to the Husky bloodlines. This is why we are saying that Blue must have a secure fenced area

He loves people and figures that everyone who comes to the shelter is coming to see and visit with him. They all stop and visit with him. It must be his beautiful blue eyes. He is 2-3yrs old.

If you are looking for a new addition to your family, come and meet Mister Blue. He just may be the perfect one for you. For more information regarding our adoption procedure, you may telephone the Thumb Animal Shelter at 989-375-4204 or e-mail us at [email protected]
