My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

And our boy Colt is ready to find a family to call his own - as most of you saw after his neuter he started having urinary issues which we knew could have been from inflammation after the surgery and he was on meds for that but to rule out anything serious we did all the testing including bloodwork, urinalysis and radiographs and everything was clear - so after a little more time we are glad to say that he is no longer having these issues which is a huge relief - just needed a little bit more time to heal.
This boy is simply amazing - he was born August 2023 so he is still a young pup but he came to our last event and his amazing foster Mom, Kara, has done amazing things with him and he was so so well behaved. His last weight was 38 pounds so we do think he will be a smaller border collie but he has that amazing border collie spirit
Here is what his foster mom had to say about him:
Colt is the sweetest boy ever. He LOVES attention. Colt is a very affectionate pup so would need a family that doesn’t mind him in their personal space! So far he has been amazing with kids but please be aware that since he is very affectionate and does get very playful at times, he could potentially knock them over. He does great with all dogs but he does not understand how big he is so I would recommend all dogs in home to be over 15 pounds. He walks perfect on a leash. Colt is pretty much fully potty trained but will need someone to keep being consistent with taking him out. He is also fully crate trained. He is still figuring out toys and how to play fetch but loves his chew bones. Colt has a very good off switch, meaning he knows when it’s time to just chill inside but that does not mean he doesn’t have a lot of energy, he definitely will need an active family! He is a very smart boy so would thrive with continued training, he loves treats so makes it easier to work with him! Overall Colt is honestly just an amazing pup and really his only “flaw” is that he doesn’t do good in a car so will need a patient person to work with him or wait until he grows out of it.
Colt's adoption fee is $250.00 - he is neutered, up to date on vaccines, microchipped, dewormed, has had a full bloodwork panel done, current on heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention.
If you are interested in adopting Colt, please go to our website www.boxerbuttsandothermutts.org and fill out one of our adoption applications. We do NOT set up a meet and greet until the application has been received and reviewed. We do vet references and a home visit as well. And as a reminder we do not have a facility - all of our dogs are in private foster homes throughout western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina.
This boy is going to be an AMAZING addition to some very lucky family - get those applications in soon
