About Colton

Colton is a charming Bluetick Hound mix, estimated to be around 1.5 to 2 years old. He has long legs and floppy ears that perfectly match his delightful personality. Colton was just a young pup, about 8 to 10 months old, when he was found wandering alone on a gravel road, unsure of his future. Since then, he's transformed into a lively, happy boy who's still searching for a forever home. His excitement is contagious; when you approach, he jumps up and throws his front paws in the air, unable to contain his joy. And when the zoomies hit, it's a sight to behold—those long legs and big hound ears make for a hilarious spectacle. Colton is low-maintenance when it comes to happiness; all he needs is room to run, someone to love, and a family to call his own. He has already spent a significant part of his young life waiting and truly deserves to be more than just a rescue dog; he deserves to be a beloved member of a family.
