ADOPTION PENDING!
🍁COLBY IS A PUPPY, TOO! 🍁
Idk why the baby puppies who look like him have applications and he does not 😢😢😢
Colby is beautiful, so loving and a real cuddler; no housebreaking needed and he loves every dog in person he meets ! 💜
Meet Colby!
A Sweet, Gentle Aussie boy loving his suburban life!
Colby is a beautiful, sweet, small-standard male Australian Shepherd; he has a very easygoing
disposition and gentle demeanor.
Colby comes from a litter of 7 dogs whose owner, a breeder, passed away. When the family reached out DASH was happy to help!
Colby had a wonderful Adopter set up, but on the day of his adoption, his new owner learned that his work schedule was completely shifting, and we all agreed it wouldn’t be a good time to add a young dog to his home.
So we are looking again for an Aussie-experienced home for Colby. Ideally, if there are children, they would be over 10 years old and have Aussie Experience. The best home would have a male or female dog, who is also young and active, to play with and to have as a Canine Companion.
Colby has a sweet, playful, goofy personality that has really come out since his sisters were adopted! He loves playing with the other dog in his foster home and for an Aussie has a very moderate energy level.
Colby absolutely loves being outside, but usually when there’s another dog or a human that will play with him. Colby has just discovered fetching retrieving returning a tennis ball or similar and dropping it to be thrown again - but if he doesn’t get the ball first, then he’ll just run around and play with the dog who has it 😂
Colby has realized that life inside the house is pretty wonderful. These days, you’ll often find him lounging comfortably on the floor right beside the couch. He really likes being close to his people.
Colby is gentle, he is very affectionate and inquisitive
and has an easygoing nature.
🧒 Colby with Kids
Cole has been remarkably patient and gentle with his foster family’s 5- and 7-year-old boys, as well as their young cousins. He has handled all of the activity and attention beautifully. The children are all experienced with larger herding dogs.
🐶 Cole with Other Dogs
Colby would do very well with a sister - he had 4 that we know of 😂
Having another dog around seems to help Colby feel more secure. When he sees other dogs he wants to play and socialize. He clearly enjoys canine companionship and quickly showed his fun-loving side.
🏡 Colby in the Home
Colby enjoys relaxing near his people and will happily follow you from room to room. He doesn’t need to be the center of attention—he just wants to be part of the family.
Colby is such a rewarding boy to watch blossom. The shy pup who arrived is quickly becoming a sweet, goofy, playful companion who is learning that he can trust the people around him.
We think Colby is going to make a wonderful, loyal family member for the lucky people who give him the chance to continue coming out of his shell. ❤️🐾
