When did you adopt your pet from AARF?: August 22, 2022
Pet’s AARF Name: Blue
Pet’s New Name (if you changed it): Blue
How is your adopted pet doing? Blue is learning hand signals and obedience and dog agility at the same time. And she is making progress. And she is now sleeping out of a crate at night and on a nice bed in the kitchen with a gate across the open door. However, small bouts of crate training are still imperative during the day, as she can get into anything besides the dog toy box if you’re not watching her! LOL!

On the negative side, she is actually Too feisty with my other two dogs when actively playing with them (another Miniature American Shepherd and a Border Collie). That poses a problem as it can get out of hand, but I am doing my best to curb this. I am hoping that as she ages out of her ‘puppyhood,’ she will calm down on her rambunctious playing. 🙂

And, thanks to Ariel, Blue’s foster parents, AARF, and all the people involved who steered this poor dog out of the situation she was put in – having been abused, “dumped,” pregnant with 10 puppies (discovered when spayed through AARF), and on top of it, is a Double Merle who is deaf.
