Blue Jay is an energetic sofa seal who loves stuffed toys and a good game of tug. This cutie-pie came into the shelter with her brother Charlie after their owner passed away. She is a happy 4-year-old girl, who needs to work on her manners a bit and is looking for a human who is willing to help her out with some training time. At 52lbs she is medium-sized and full of love she is looking to give to her human BFF.
