HELLO EVERYONE, MY NAME IS COLBY. I WAS UNABLE TO STAY AT MY LAST HOME BECAUSE ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS HAD ALLERGIES. I''M READY TO FIND A NEW FAMILY THAT IS ABLE TO KEEP ME FOREVER AND EVER. I MAY BE A BIG BOY, BUT I''M A LAP DOG. I JUST CAN''T GET ENOUGH CUDDLING! I''M SHY IN NEW SITUATIONS; IF YOU GIVE ME SOME TIME (AND SOME TREATS) I''LL BE YOUR BEST FRIEND FOR LIFE! MY PREVIOUS OWNER SAID I AM HOUSETRAINED, I''M CRATE TRAINED, I WALK WELL ON LEASH, AND I KNOW COMMANDS FOR ''SIT'', ''COME'' AND ''DOWN'', ALTHOUGH I''M STILL LEARNING NOT TO JUMP UP FOR ATTENTION. I''M SURE WITH A LITTLE TIME YOU CAN TEACH THIS ADULT DOG NEW TRICKS! I CAN''T WAIT TO START MY LIFE WITH YOU. IS YOUR HEART BIG ENOUGH FOR A BOY LIKE ME? I''M FULL GROWN AT 68 LBS.

Many adoptions will take approximately 1 hour or more.

Adoption requirements and tips
to speed up the adoption process:

Please be able to provide a valid photo I.D. with your current address (If your I.D. does not reflect your current address, bring a piece of mail with your name and address on it)

Be able to prove that you are allowed to have a pet where you live (proof of home ownership or a copy of your rental lease including the specific pet policy)

Bring along all members of your household, including dogs for an introduction to a new dog. However, we do recommend meeting with an adoption counselor before involving children in the pet selection process. To avoid longer wait times, we strongly recommended that dog-to-dog meetings take place after 1:00pm.

Participate in adoption counseling process to learn adoption guidelines and adoption options.
