Meet the incredible Colton, a 2-year-old Shepherd/Malinois mix with a heart full of love and a spirit waiting to shine! 🌟 This young boy is on a quest for a forever home where he can feel safe and cherished. At 49 lbs, Colton is bursting with energy and excitement just waiting to trot into your life! 🐾 Colton is a bit of a shy soul right now, but with the right gentle guidance and the presence of a confident canine companion, he’s ready to bloom! 🌼✨ He’s got that youthful zest for life, eager to explore parks, engage in long sniffy walks, and embark on all the playful adventures his new family can dream up. Just imagine the joyful moments you could share! This delightful boy has been tested with cats and showed no interest in chasing them, which suggests he could have a kitty sibling—how cute would that be? 🐱💕 He’s also good with other dogs and can’t wait to bond with a furry friend who can show him the ropes. Oh, and wait until you see him wrap his arm around your neck with his signature "Colton hug"—it's a guaranteed chuckle! 😂🤗 He may take a moment to warm up to new humans, but once he feels the love, he gives back adoring gazes that melt your heart. 🥰 Colton currently resides in a loving foster home in the DC area where he’s learning excellent house manners and even how to signal when he needs to go out. 🎉🏠 While Lucky Dog cannot guarantee house training, Colton is definitely making strides in his crate training, ensuring he's a well-mannered member of the family! It’s time for Colton to find his forever family who understands that love takes patience. Will you be the one to show him that he belongs? 🏡💖✨ To adopt this lovable gem, please apply through the Buddy App!
