Blueberry

Meet Blueberry

Blueberry is a young, active dog with a love for toys, play and being around his people. Unfortunately, Blueberry was diagnosed with a suspected torn CCL (like an ACL in humans!) and may need surgery. This surgery is pretty major, and recovery in a shelter setting is less than ideal. Our hope is to get him into an adoptive home so he can receive follow up care with an orthopedic surgeon and have a comfortable spot to land.

Blueberry would need 8 weeks of careful recovery following surgery, so we are looking for an adopter with a quiet home who can commit to helping Blueberry recover and providing a predictable routine. Blueberry also has penchant for the finer things in life – counter surfing, chewing, and going on unsupervised neighborhood strolls, so we are prepared to support an adopter with guidance for keeping Blueberry safe and providing extra enrichment activities to keep his brain satisfied. He is going to require short leash walks, and would need to be carefully managed around other dogs in the home, at least to start – he is playful by nature and can become quite frustrated when seeing other dogs he can’t play with, and we want to make sure he won’t re-injure his leg!

If you love working on brain games with dogs, have a fondness for land seals, and are up for helping Blueberry get through a tough injury – come meet him today! We promise you’ll be rewarded with a lot of goofy play, the biggest smiles, and a whole lotta love.

*MSPCA will cover the initial cost of surgery, however, we do expect that Blueberry will need additional medical support down the road, so an adopter should be prepared to financially support his medical needs in the future*

Stop by Northeast Animal Shelter to meet Blueberry. We have open adoption hours Tuesday-Sunday from 11:30am-5pm - no appointment needed to speak to a staff person regarding available pets.

Please note, in an effort to keep the stress levels reduced for the dogs in our care, our dog kennel areas will not be open to walk through. Interested adopters will work with a matchmaker on staff to determine which dog(s) they are interested in and if we can identify a match, potential adopters will be able to meet those dogs outside of the kennel. Cat and small animal areas will remain open to walk through.
