About this Dog
Meet Blue Boy â A Big Softie with an Even Bigger Heart! ???? Blue Boy is a 5-year-old American Bully mix (affectionately known around here as our âgentle hippoâ) with soulful eyes, a wiggly butt, and enough love to fill a whole house. Heâs had a tough roadâleft at multiple shelters by the same ownerâbut heâs finally landed at the Saint Charles County Pet Adoption Center, and weâre determined to help him find the forever home he deserves.Despite his past, Blue Boyâs spirit is intact. Once out of the kennel, his goofy, affectionate personality shines! Heâs potty trained, loves meeting new people, and is happiest when heâs close to his humansâespecially if neck or booty scratches are involved.?? Smart & Eager to LearnBlue is currently working on training and doing great! He knows sit, down (with a lure), and is learning loose leash walking and check-ins. Heâs calm and focused during training and prefers bonding with people over playing with toys. He responds well to praise and direction, and continues to blossom with every session.?? Dog Compatibility:Blue is dog-selective. He does best with calm, submissive dogs but may thrive as the only pet in a home where he can be your one-and-only. His evaluations show he does well with appropriate introductions, but can be uncomfortable with overly assertive dogs.?? Cats? No, thank you.Blue Boy is not a fan of felines and should go to a cat-free home.???????? Kids:Due to his size, strength, and play style, we recommend a home with kids aged 12+. Heâs never shown aggression, but will do best with older children who understand how to respectfully interact with dogs.?? Ideal Home:Blue Boy needs an experienced owner who understands dog body language and can provide structure, physical activity, and mental enrichment. A secure fence is strongly recommended, as he enjoys exploring and needs a safe space to get his energy out.Despite a bit of kennel reactivity (usually out of stress or excitement), Blue Boy is calm, gentle, and affectionate once heâs out and about. He passed nearly all behavior assessments with Grade A responses, including sociability, toy and food handling, and basic interactions.Blue Boy is the perfect mix of strength and sweetness. Heâs loyal, loving, and full of personality. If youâre ready for a devoted companion and can offer him the guidance he needs, Blue Boy will reward you with endless love and loyalty.??Available for adoption at: Saint Charles County Pet Adoption Center#AdoptBlueBoy #GentleHippo #RescueDog #SaintCharlesPets #BigDogBigLove #DogWithPersonality #AdoptDontShop #BlueBoyNeedsYou
Contribute to BLUE BOY's Stash!
100% of BLUE BOY's balance will be sent to whoever adopts BLUE BOY.
Adopt BLUE BOY and Receive BLUE BOY's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, BLUE BOY's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is BLUE BOY's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the BLUE BOY, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming BLUE BOY's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and BLUE BOY was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, BLUE BOY’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the BLUE BOY’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, BLUE BOY’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
