About Columbia

Columbia is a delightful female Husky/Terrier mix who was born on August 21, 2026. This little bundle of energy adores playing with both her human and canine friends, and when she's not on the go, she's cuddled up with her foster siblings, recharging for her next adventure. Columbia is currently working on her potty training, which is going well, and she's nearly mastered staying dry through the night. Curious about her feline foster sibling, Columbia requires supervision in homes with cats, especially if those cats prefer a little more personal space. She thrives in environments where she has company, ideally with at least one other dog who enjoys snuggling as much as she does, regardless of their age. She's currently not yet house trained but is eager to learn. Due to her energetic nature and need for companionship, she would benefit from a home with friendly, dog-savvy humans. Columbia is awaiting her forever home and would surely bring joy and laughter to any family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
