Colby

Colby is an incredibly cute ball of cottony fur that climbs into your heart (and lap) with a wag and a kiss. What isn't clear in this shelter photo is how truly beautiful this dog is with his golden coat and dark eyes with wisdom beyond his years.<br/><br/>At just about 8ish years old (such a perfect age..old enough to be past babyish behaviors and young enough to have many healthy and active years remaining) and 14 lbs, Colby is a perfect size to accompany his family just about anywhere a very sweet, smaller dog is welcome.<br/><br/>Colby is every bit the silly guy...fun, active and so content once comfortable in his environment. But at the same time he is a happy and well-behaved pup who is so sweet, very loving and a perfect full-time companion. Colby is very likely to express himself with his wagging tail and excited kisses of love for those who are kind to him.<br/><br/>Right now, Colby is a blank slate who will soak up positive feedback with every effort to be the best behaved and most cuddly guy around. Colby is so loyal that he can easily be a constant companion. He would love nothing more than being outdoors enjoying walks on gorgeous Colorado trails, trips to the store (he enjoys car rides)) and lap/couch-sitting are perfect for Colby's sweet personality. Colby is flexible enough that he can be introduced to virtually any situation and if there is love and gentle guidance, he can succeed.<br/><br/>We've received the following information from Colby rescuer:<br/><br/>"Colby is soo adorable! He has the most endearing looks on his face and the cutest impish personality. He is very sweet and always has a spring in his step. He is very easy to love!<br/><br/>Colby is also very affectionate. He loves to cuddle & happily spends hours curled up on our laps or close by on the couch or rocking chair. He takes well to others as well and will happily greet them.<br/><br/>Colby bonded with all of us at the shelter very quickly. It's clear that his biggest wish is to have his own family that will love him forever. I believe that this darling little guy will fall in love very quickly with a family that is respectful and kind to him."<br/><br/>Colby has a gorgeous golden coat that is currently shelter-sad. He will require a lifelong commitment to periodic baths / brushing and excellent nutrition. Current research is clear that the greatest gift we can give our dogs is a fresh, human-grade diet. Farfel's wholeheartedly recommends Chi Diet (chidog.com) for lifelong coat health and an opportunity for the longest and most healthy life possible.<br/><br/>Colby is arriving on transport in Boulder on Wednesday 8/12/2026. Applications are being accepted for this very sweet, loving and loyal best friend. An application can be found at http://farfels.com/farfels-rescue/adoption-form/. If interested, please fill out completely and submit.<br/><br/>**PLEASE NOTE** If you're truly interested in adopting Colby please be sure to fill out our Farfel's Rescue adoption application found at the link above or at farfels.com. Adoption site applications such as Petfinder, Rescueme and Adoptapet don't provide enough information and therefore aren't useful. Our Farfel's application is the only initial tool that we have to determine a great match for this very deserving guy. We're sorry, but in most cases, we're unable to get back to those that don't submit our adoption application. Thanks very much for choosing rescue.
