Meet Blue, the sweetest seven year old, 60 pound "hippo"-an endearment earned from his adorable face.

Blue is happy to be with other dogs, though his preference is really to stretch his legs while working on a kong! Blue is house and crate trained. He is interested in cats, so a very dog-savvy cat would be essential if he were to live with felines.
