Blue loves interacting with his human friends, but it can take him a little bit of time to get to know them. His shyness can be quickly overcome with a tasty treat or two, so with a patience and time, he’ll be your BFF before you can blink.
Blue will thrive best in a calm and loving environment where he can feel safe and secure.
If you are looking for a loyal, loving, and beautiful companion, Blue is the perfect addition to your family!
