t that's just as sweet. Colby came into rescue with Bella after their family made the difficult decision to surrender them when they could no longer afford their care. As the father of puppies Beenie and Barbee, Colby has already done his part raising a family. Now he's ready for a forever home where he can simply be someone's beloved companion. When Colby first arrived in foster care, he was understandably nervous and unsure of his new surroundings. After a few days of patience and reassurance, his true personality began to shine. Today, he's a loving, playful little guy who enjoys being close to his people and soaking up all the attention he can get. One of Colby 's favorite things in the world is snuggling. Whether he's stretched out beside you on the couch or keeping you company while you work, he thrives on companionship and affection. During the day, you'll often find him snoozing contentedly on a dog bed in his foster mom's office. At night, he happily joins his people on the couch for quality cuddle time. He's also very food-motivated, which has helped him adjust well to his foster home's routines and training. Colby has a medium energy level and tends to follow the mood of the household. When it's time to play, he's happy to join in. When everyone is relaxing, he's equally content to settle down nearby and enjoy the quiet. Colby loves spending time outside on a warm day. He loves stretching out on the deck, scooting his face along the surface, rolling onto his back, and soaking up every bit of sunshine he can find. He's making good progress with potty training and only has occasional accidents in his foster home. Colby sleeps quietly in his kennel at night and can often be found resting comfortably in his crate when his foster family is away. Tell him, "Go to your room," offer a treat, and he'll happily trot right in. Like many dogs experiencing a big life change, Colby is still working through a few fears. Leashes can be intimidating, and car rides currently make him nervous, causing some panting and whimpering. With patience, encouragement, and continued exposure, he's already showing that he's willing to learn and trust. Colby has done well with children as young as 9 years old, though he'll appreciate a family willing to give him a little time to settle in and feel secure. Colby currently lives in a foster home with several other small dogs and gets along well with most canine friends. If you're looking for a gentle soul with adorable curls, a loving heart, and a talent for turning sunny afternoons into pure happiness, Colby may be the perfect addition to your family. ☀️
