Say hello to Colby! 🌟 This sweet little soul is on a brave journey to build his self-confidence. At first glance, he may come off as a bit shy, almost like an introvert at a loud party, but with the right family, he could absolutely bloom! 🌼 This darling boy is looking for a patient and loving home where he can take his time to adjust and truly trust his new family. Currently, he’s thriving with his wonderful foster, exploring some beautiful places around Asheville, such as the greenway, Lowes, the Biltmore, and the Arboretum. He enjoys these outings when things are calm and at a pace he’s comfortable with. Imagine that adorable face peeking out from behind a tree, unsure yet curious! 🍃 Colby is simply AMAZING, and he just needs the right family to give him the space he needs to flourish. Could YOU be that special family? 🥰 If this gentle boy tugs at your heartstrings, keep reading and take the first step by *applying through the Buddy App*! Now, let’s talk about a few important recommendations: Puppies are very fragile and not toys, which is why it's best for kids to be at least six years old for adoption. For small breeds, children should be at least eight and for herding or working breeds, they should be a minimum of twelve. Remember, these ages are just recommendations designed to help match Colby with the perfect family! The adoption process emphasizes finding the right fit for Colby. Physical home visits are a must—no virtual tours allowed, my friends! ❤️ Also, while fencing isn’t required for every dog, some may need a secure yard to play safely. And let's not forget, anyone under 21 or college students might not be the best fit, as Colby deserves a family that can give him the attention he craves. Colby and his furry companions have been through enough, and the goal here is to find families who can provide their forever homes. 🏡 If you can’t continue to care for him at any point, you’ll need to bring Colby back, but it doesn’t mean he won’t flourish in the right environment.
