umbo found himself at a rural shelter due to the irresponsibility of his previous family, who failed to spay and neuter their pets. After fathering a litter of pups, Columbo was surrendered to the shelter. His journey took a positive turn thanks to the intervention of a compassionate shelter volunteer who stepped up to foster him. Columbo is now being fostered with Heather, her husband, and their two large dogs. He had an easy transition to his new pack and has proven to be a great guest. Columbo is housetrained, crated-trained, and respectful with the other dogs. Heather describes him as a happy, affectionate, and social boy who exudes energy yet will settle down for snuggles. While still learning some basic manners, like controlling his excitement when you return home, Columbo's authentic joy in seeing you is heartwarming. He loves to chew on bones and toys around his pup buddies and appreciates being part of a pack. Though he may indulge in counter-surfing if food is left unattended, we are working on getting this fixed. Columbo is a young dog with a zest for life in search of a fun, active family. He thrives on daily walks and playtime, and the company of a pup playmate would be ideal but is not required. We are looking for an owner committed to providing the exercise and engagement he craves. His love for tennis balls, bones, and playing fetch makes him an ideal companion for adopters with an active lifestyle. Above all, Columbo just wants your love and attention. A confident boy who enjoys meeting new people, he is ready to be your loyal sidekick. Whether riding shotgun in the car or joining you on outdoor adventures, Columbo's social nature ensures he'll make new friends wherever he goes. If you're seeking a devoted companion with boundless enthusiasm, consider applying for Columbo. This lovable pup will bring joy and companionship to any forever home. Apply today! Open to foster-to-adopt for the right family.

You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
