Blue

Mixed Breed Β· Male

Blue came in to our care from another rescue that was closing down and he was at risk of having nowhere to go. πŸ˜” Blue is an Australian Cattle Dog, also known as a Blue Heeler. They are a working breed and are are highly intelligent, loyal and incredibly energetic, thriving off mental and physical stimulation. Blue will need someone who can provide him with plenty of exercise and mental enrichment in order for him to live a fulfilled life. πŸ™‚ We are ideally looking for someone that has experience with this breed and understands their breed traits. We can discuss Blue in more detail with anyone who is interested in adopting him. ☺️ As far as we are aware, he has never been around children. This combined with his boisterous nature means we will not be looking to place him in a home with children. Blue seems to enjoy the company of other dogs and may even benefit from living with another dog so we are open to doggy meet and greets. 🐢 Blue cannot be placed in a home with cats or small animals. If you are interested in adopting Blue, please call us on any day between 11am – 2pm 😊

About Blue

What life with Blue looks like

Blue is a small adult mixed breed dog waiting at Hull Animal Welfare Trust in South Cave.

An adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" β€” quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures β€” to let them settle.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Blue, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Blue?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Hull Animal Welfare Trust handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Blue on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Blue if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” Hull Animal Welfare Trust will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Blue already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Blue isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Hull Animal Welfare Trust early rather than rehoming privately; they know Blue and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect β€” names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
