About Colt

Colt is a charming middle-aged dog with a lovely, dappled merle coat. He tends to be a bit cautious at first but warms up quickly, making him a perfect candidate for a nurturing home that can help him build confidence. A friend from the shelter says, "Colt is really sweet and gentle. I had no issues leashing and exiting the kennel. He walked perfectly past all his barking neighbors without pulling. When he saw his kennelmate in the play yard, he relaxed and they enjoyed some fun zoomies together. Colt also appreciated some light petting before heading back inside." He shares his kennel with another dog and has shown independence while meeting other dogs in playgroup. If you think you can help Colt thrive, don’t hesitate to ask to meet him today!
