Bio
Meet Bluey, a sweet adult girl who needs a second chance.
Bluey is facing significant orthopedic challenges. She has been diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia and has a fractured left tibial tuberosity that will require surgical repair. While her injuries are serious, Bluey is deserving of the medical care and support needed to help her heal and regain comfort.
Despite everything she's going through, Bluey continues to show a gentle spirit and resilience.
Due to her medical needs , this pet is currently at risk for euthanasia.
We are urgently seeking placement through adoption, foster, or approved rescue.
If you are interested in adopting, fostering, or rescuing this dog, please email dasadopt@dallas.gov as soon as possible. When emailing, be sure to include a callback phone number so our team can contact you promptly.
