Story
I am an Air Force Vet and first time dog owner, I found Duke at a local dog shelter. He was around 1 year old when I adopted him about a year ago. Duke is a veryyy friendly dog absolutely loves people and loves to cuddle he will lay down with you all day on the couch and not move if you let him. The reason I am looking to rehome is because I am a single guy and my schedule is really busy as a full time student and soccer coach and that means I have to leave Duke in a crate for the majority of the day and even when I am home I cant spend much time with him because of my school work. I feel Duke would do very well in a house with multiple people to give him attention and able to take him out to run around a be a young dog. Duke is very well trained he knows sit, down, crate, heel/tight, free, he is even trained on E-collar and will recall with the tone sound. Please feel free to ask any questions about him!

Story
Milo is one of the best dogs. He is energetic, lovable, and listens very well. His biggest flaw is that he is a 45lb lap dog.I have had him since he was 3 months old, he gets along with other humans, kids, cats, and most dogs. I unfortunately do not think he will be fit with another MALE dog now. He recently was attacked at a park by another male dog and has since shown severe anxiety because of it, with medications not deeming 100% helpful. I have to let my loving boy go because I own two other male dogs that he now shows anxiety and reaction over. He still gets along just fine with the cats, and his doggy sister. He will be the best cuddler, best shoulder to cry on, and the best adventure pal you could ask for. He just needs a loving space without another boy dog.

Story
Chico is a one-year-old sweetheart with a playful spirit and an even bigger heart. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and children and has a gentle, affectionate nature. When it comes to cats, he’s still learning not to chase them, but he has shown no aggression and is doing well so far. Chico truly doesn’t realize how big he is—he loves curling up in laps and cuddling whenever he can. Eager to please, Chico is making great progress with potty training and is already crate trained and leash trained. He enjoys playtime, plenty of affection, and staying close to his people, making him an excellent companion for an active yet loving home. Chico loves being part of the action and will happily soak up all the attention you’re willing to give. Located in North Texas, Transport available and fee included

Humphrey

American Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Columbus, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, 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
