About Blue (Bull terrier) in Belleville

Blue is waiting for you at The Buster Foundation Pit Bull Education and Rescue in Belleville, MI 48112. Blue is an approximately 3-year-old, 80-pound male who is a happy, affectionate, people-loving dog. From the moment he was rescued, he was friendly and approachable. He allowed handling right away and has never shown any issues with people. Everyone who meets him comments on how sweet and happy he is, and he consistently makes a great impression wherever he goes. Blue absolutely loves people. When he gets excited, he jumps with joy, wagging his tail so enthusiastically that his whole body twists in the air.

He seems to enjoy water and had no hesitation jumping into a lake. He was cooperative at the vet and tolerated bathing without any issues, even if it wasn’t his favorite activity. Blue likely lived outside previously and is still learning personal space boundaries. He does pull on leash and would benefit from continued training. Because he is strong, he should be walked by someone comfortable handling a large dog. He is very food-motivated, and if given the opportunity, he may try to eat another dog’s food. He has not shown any food aggression toward people. Blue has lived with my cats, but this required slow introductions and careful management. He has a strong prey drive, and a cat that runs or darts would not be a good fit. A securely fenced yard is required. If placed with another dog, Blue would do best with a smaller, easy-going female. He should not be placed in a home with small children. Blue’s ideal hom
