I'm just a happy go lucky young guy with lots of energy. I love running in the yard, playing with other dogs, going on walks. I'm working on my commands and manners. I'm cool with cats, older kids. I think i would love to be a running partner for someone. I would really like to have another dog to play worth or be able to do to doggie daycare. >I am in a foster home so if you are interested in adoptiong me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process.  Due to the large number of inquiries we receive, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.  April 18, 2025, 7:44 pm

Story
Silky soft, snuggly, and eager to please all the people he meets. Oakley is willing to trust new people, show his belly, give kisses. Knows 'sit,' 'lie down,' and getting acquainted with 'stay,' 'leave it,' and 'get down. Very interested in other dogs, but willing to be instructed to 'leave it' and carry on walking when we passed yards or houses with barking dogs. Fairly good on a leash. Very energetic, will be a good companion for someone athletic. But also Willing to hang out quietly while I you work on the computer or watched TV; even willing to ignore the nearby cats most of time. Curious about them but not wanting to interact with them. Before considering him as a pet do research on the breed. He is a herding dog and will try to steer you where he thinks you need to go. This will include nipping at your heels and hands if they are by your side. He will be good with older kids that understand his behavior. He is in a foster home so if you are interested in adoptiong me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process.  Due to the large number of inquiries we receive, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.    November 6, 2024, 3:21 pm

Humphrey

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Columbus, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
What a face! Humphrey is a big doofus. When he arrived he weighed 14 lbs. He was living in a crate and being starved to death. But with the right vet care and foster he is now 40 lbs and loving life. He still wants to eat too fast so he uses a special bowl to slow him down. Humphrey is still learning he can go outside to potty and he doesn't have to do his business in his crate. At some point his ears were cut off, probably with scissors, but that doesn't seem to bother him. And it just gives him a special look, along with his squatty muscular body. He needs a strong person to help him keep learning life can be good. He can be reactive with some dogs. No idea about cats but probably should not live with them. He does think he should be a lap dog and loves belly rubs. I am in a foster home so if you are interested in adoptiong me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process.  Due to the large number of inquiries we receive, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.  February 11, 2025, 6:40 am

Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Lima bean had a really rough start in life. He was 1 of over 50 dogs living in horrible conditions. Since being removed, he has received vet care and is slowly learning people petting him is ok. He still quivers initially but is starting to realize it is not a bad thing. He has no idea how to play or what toys are. Walking on a leash is a very scary thing. He is a work in progress that needs a quiet home that will continue to slowly work with him so he knows he is safe. He may never be a happy go lucky dog that is excited to see people but he will learn a soft bed and chew toy are good things. Lima bean needs a calm, quiet house. He won't do well with children but another dog to help him learn how to be a dog might help him trust quicker. Lima bean is in a foster home so if you are interested in adoptiong, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process.  Due to the large number of inquiries we receive, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.  December 14, 2024, 3:23 am
