About

Meet Blueberry

Blueberry is a 4 yr old male dachshund mix. He came into rescue a few months back. He had lived his entire life chained to a tree and his collar grew into his neck, which required surgical intervention. His wound is healed but he is left with a scar.Blueberry is 30 lbs - but he is very low to the ground. He is a happy, friendly boy who loves everyone and is eager to learn. He is crate trained and never has accidents in his crate. He is very food motivated so training should be easy for him.  He has a weird coat which we believe is due to dilute alopecia. He had almost no hair at all when he came to us, and his skin was severely sunburned, but it is slowly growing in. He may never have a thick coat. Dilute alopecia occurs in some dogs that are gray in color, it is a result of the genetics that create that color. It requires no treatment. Blueberry is good with other dogs. Blueberry started at the Paws in Prison program on 10/23/24. While there, he will work daily with an inmate on the basics and maybe even a few tricks, and  meet weekly with a dog trainer. In about 8 weeks he will graduate with his canine good citizen certificate and will be ready to go to a new home!  Neutered, UTD on vaccines, microchipped, and on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.  Located in Arkansas, but transport is available.
