Colby (CP)'s Story

Adopt Colby! ? Your Golden-Year Companion<br/><br/>Meet Colby, a distinguished gentleman likely around 10 years old and 55–60 pounds, searching for a calm home to spend his golden years. His devoted owner is heartbroken to part with him but must leave the country to care for a sick relative in Japan. Colby now hopes to find someone who’ll love him just as much.<br/>Rescued from Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, Colby has spent the last years enjoying life’s simple pleasures: cozy naps, peaceful walks, and hearty meals. His soft husky-like coat, Lab-mix build, and wise, watchful demeanor make him the perfect companion for those who appreciate the rewards of an older pup—steady loyalty, gentle affection, and endless moments of quiet joy.<br/><br/>Though he’s an older gent, Colby has a pushier style of play, so he needs slow intros with other dogs—or he can simply be a devoted “people puppy,” soaking up attention and love from his human. He has been to doggy daycare and did just fine, showing he can enjoy social time when introduced properly.<br/>Somewhat hard of hearing,  serves as a little guard at the door—alerting you to visitors—before happily returning to his favorite pastime: lounging in his bed. Outside the home, he greets strangers with polite indifference, but inside, he’s all heart. He’s easygoing, occasionally selectively obedient (his charm!), and thrives on simple routines.<br/><br/>The ideal home would be calm, with a fenced backyard where he can spend his days safely. He could be perfect for an older couple or anyone wanting a loving companion without the need for daily walks. Grandkids, if present, should be older.<br/><br/>Adopting Colby means welcoming a loyal, loving friend whose golden years are filled with gratitude, companionship, and quiet joy. The rewards of owning an older pup? Endless.
