Colby
Colby — “Cheese” Quote from foster family: “Colby has adjusted very well into his role as a work-from-home colleague! He is super sweet, quick to learn, and a true lapdog. Wherever you choose to sit, he’ll be right there with ya! We created a nickname for him, ‘Colby Cheese’, and he gets adorably excited when we greet him that way. Colby’s Woof-Facts Name: Colby Breed: Staffie Weight: 35–40 lbs Age: 1–1.5yrs old Gender: Male Health: Neutered, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped More info about Colby: Personality: He has this magical combination of playfulness, fun, affection, and couch potato calmness. He greets every single person like they are his absolute best friend in the world, topped with tons of kisses and full body wiggles. While he loves his downtime curled up on a couch or bed, he is always ready for playtime! Forever home recommendations: Colby is young and will need regular exercise/playtime to manage his energy. He is eager to learn and would do well in a home with prior dog owners who have a familiarity in teaching basic manners, how to play, and helping him adjust to la dolce vita in suburbia. Kids: Good with kids Dogs: Good with dogs his size or larger Cats: Unknown, has not been in a home with cats Crate trained: Yes House trained: Yes Leash manners: Walks great on a leash How did Colby find himself at Rescue Haven Foundation: After Colby was found as a stray and spent several months at a city shelter, the shelter reached out to RHF asking for help. Colby arrived at an approved RHF foster home in May and has been adjusting beautifully!
