My story

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

Meet Colby, a loveable, energetic dog with a heart full of potential. Colby is a local surrender, originally purchased from a breeder. He enjoyed constant companionship when his owner worked from home. However, a new job that required long hours away from home led to Colby being left alone for extended periods, resulting in a lot of pent-up energy and a lack of training.

Colby thrives in the company of other dogs and even gets along with cats. He's currently being fostered in the country with six other dogs and is having a blast. When he's not playing, Colby loves to cuddle. He's a big softy who craves affection and bonds quickly with his people, becoming a loyal friend.

While Colby has many wonderful qualities, he does need some work on his leash skills. He pulls for the first few minutes of a walk, so he'll need someone patient and willing to help him learn better manners. Colby's previous lack of structure means he has no boundaries and will benefit from consistent training. He's a big goofball who just wants to play, and his new adopter should be ready to invest time in helping him learn the ropes.

Colby can be a bit wary of new people and may bark initially, but he quickly warms up and reveals his sweet nature. He is crate trained, although he might cry or howl for the first ten minutes before settling down. Colby sleeps soundly through the night on the floor of his foster's bedroom.

Due to his size and lack of boundaries, Colby needs a home with a backyard. Apartments won't be suitable for him. He'd do best in a household with children aged 14 and older to avoid accidental knockovers during playtime.

Colby is eager to find a forever home where he can continue to grow and learn. If you have the time, patience, and love to give, Colby could be your perfect match. Adopt this big goofball and enjoy a lifetime of adventures together!
