My story

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

Colby is guessed to be right under a year old. He came to us in very rough shape. He had a double ear infection, double eye infection, covered in fleas, dehydrated, extremely thin, and worst of all he has two bb bullets stuck in his side. Life has not been kind to him in his very short life.

Despite all of this, Colby is very affectionate. He can be a little timid at first, but can you blame him? However, when you pick him up, he just melts into you as her buries his head in your chest. He is such a sweet boy that deserves so much more.

The bb's do not bother him and therefore do not need to be removed. He has been treated for all of his infections, however, his one eye will likely always be cloudy with scar tissue.

This boy is unique and needs an owner that will embrace his quirks. His adoption fee is $75 and this includes his neuter, vaccinations, FIV/FeLV tested negative, flea and tick prevention, and microchip.
