He's adorable! He looks like a Dakota to me

I love a name that has something to do with blue--he's blue merle and has those smashing eyes. Perhaps Newman (for Paul--never saw better blue eyes than his!).

He really is adorable and so so little. Thank you for giving him a home. He looks mischievous and very alert--you're going to have your hands full!

Thanks! I'm loving the "blue" names and also names from the sky because of his "starry" "sky" blue eyes. My list so far of possible names is as follows:
Murphy
Hubble
Apollo
Aries
Astro
Cosmo
Indigo
Merle
Ruckus
Cobalt
Denim
'Titan'ium

What a sweet fluffy teddy bear! Oh my gosh, think of how chubby and cuddly he'll look once he gets some meat on his bones if he's already so delightfully fluffy! He looks just like a little stuffed animal. And his eyes are like sapphires!

Ooh, Sapphire may be a good name!

His eyes are fantastic in person. I'll have to get a better picture up. And Sapphire would be awesome but maybe more for a female. lol I'm super indecisive so we'll see!

I think it will be Cobalt! :-)

Yeah, Sapphire does sound a bit feminine... Cobalt is perfect (and pretty!!)

Zafiro <- A way to name him Sapphire without it sounding girly.

But I really like Cobalt<:

Always loved, never forgotten, all our previous boys -

I was going to say I really liked Cobalt out of your list - easily made in to "Cobie" when you want to call him something cutesy (or maybe it's just me that feels the needs to call the dogs cutesy things during cuddle time).

So am I! Congratulations on your new little guy-he's adorable, beautiful coloring/markings.

Thank you for adopting. Both of mine are adopted, my girl had been turned into a High Kill shelter and was taken in by a GR Rescue that I adopted her from. My boy I found a couple of years ago at my County Humane Society-my lucky day. Most of our shelters are not very desireable in my area either, I can relate to what you're saying.

Enjoy Colbalt- great name, looking forward to seeing lots of pictures of him.
