Blair was a stray who found herself at the shelter. Through no fault of her own she received no applications in the time she was there and the shelter workers asked PAW to give her a chance and find her a special home. That should be an easy thing to do given her unusual markings and sweet and happy disposition. Just looking at Blair brings a smile to your face! Her looks are an instant conversation starter.

Blair is crate-trained but can also be trusted in the house, as she is not destructive. She would be fine in an adult household or one with older children. Blair gets along well with cats, likes to play, enjoys taking walks and giving kisses to that special someone. Blair is particularly fond of other dogs that like to play as she frequently instigates a game of chase with her foster doggie siblings.

Blair has a lot of love to give and she will make a deserving adopter a very rewarding companion. She is much loved in her current foster home; she is dedicated to her people and very loving. Her ideal household would be an active one where she would get lots of exercise and mental stimulation. She would probably excel in a sport such as agility where she could put her energy and smarts to use. If her adopter was not interested in this sort of activity, a good walk redirects her energies and is something she is quite fond of. She also loves to chase and retrieve balls and can do so endlessly. Because she has the tendency to bark, Blair would not be good in a condo/apartment/townhome situation.

UPDATE August 2009. Blair has a compulsion disorder quite similar to OCD that people experience. Her compulsion is with lights, shadows and unexpected noises. As you can imagine things like thunderstorms and bright sunny days make her very anxious. Because of her issues, her environment needs to be controlled as much as possible. Extended periods of time in the yard unattended exacerbate her issues and are most likely what started her problems in the first place, becoming a means of entertainment from boredom. Blair is on an anxiety medicine that she will likely need for the rest of her life. This medicine costs about $22 a month.

Despite her issues, Blair is a very loving and endearing dog and makes a wonderful companion in the right home.
