Blue

Leave the road, take the trails

More: Blue is a rescue born in Louisiana who was brought up to a shelter in Upstate NY. Her Wisdom Panel DNA indicates that she is 13 breeds! Mostly of the hound and shepherd variety. I adopted her at 12 weeks and on the heels of recovering from an illness that kept me debilitated for almost 2 years despite being only 29 years old. I had a history as an endurance athlete and avid outdoorsman and it was Blue who got me moving again and pushing my body. Fast-forward to the present and I am happier, stronger and healthier than pre-illness. Blue enjoys kayaking, paddle trips, long distance runs, hiking in the Adirondacks (she is an aspiring “ADK 46” and she and I plan to do all 46 Adirondack peaks during her lifetime) and Finger Lakes regions of Upstate NY, swimming, and tagging along on fishing trips. She is a loyal and loving companion. Quiet, stoic, and always observing. She is easy to train and makes associations easily. I am very lucky to have her and am always planning our next adventure.
