Animal Profile: Blue Nip is a young, male, estimated 6 month old, Collie/Husky mix who joined us from a high kill shelter in CA on June 20th. He currently weighs about 45 pounds. The shelter reports that he is a friendly puppy. We will post more about him when we get to know him better in foster care. 

Foster Update: Nip is settling in well and is an energetic, happy puppy. He is a total sweetheart, and hasn't met a soul he doesn't like. He likes other dogs, but he also gets very excited and always wants to play so he would love another active young dog. He's pretty good in the crate and will settle after a bit, though he would prefer to be Velcro dog if he could. He already knows sit and shake and is learning stay, lay down, leave it and walking on leash. Nip is very smart and picks up on things easily so we don't anticipate his training being an issue. 

Nip is a big, exuberant boy who does really well with a firm leader and would love an active home, with or without another big, energetic dog and someone dedicated to his training as he is still a puppy.  While he is friendly with everyone, we do think he will be overwhelming for small kids so we will not be considering kids under 10 and no cats.
