Blue Ribbon has an umbilical hernia. If it is present at the time of the spay it will need to be repaired at the adopters expense. It will likely add about an additional $80-$100 to the cost of the spay, depending on the vet clinic.

Foster Home Feedback
6/16/2026 Foster Feedback: Blue Ribbon is a puppy who is still learning that the world is a safe place. She is working on housebreaking and is making progress, and she does pretty well sleeping in her kennel overnight.
Blue Ribbon is very fearful of new people and animals. When she feels overwhelmed or scared, she may growl or snap because she does not yet know better ways to communicate her fear. Her foster family is working with her on building confidence, learning trust, and finding safer ways to respond when she is unsure.
Because of her fearfulness, Blue Ribbon is not a good fit for a first-time dog owner. She will need an adoptive family with the patience, experience, and commitment to move slowly and continue helping her build confidence over time. She would also not be a good match for a home with young children. Older, considerate children who can understand her need for space and respect her boundaries may be okay.
Blue Ribbon will not be a “ready-made” puppy, but she is a puppy who deserves someone willing to meet her where she is. With structure, kindness, consistency, and time, Blue Ribbon has the opportunity to keep growing into a braver, more secure dog.
5/21/2026 Foster Feedback: Blue Ribbon is a lovely, but shy girl. She is looking for a family that will be patient with her and take her to lots of new places, puppy classes, and help her work on her confidence!
