Colby Jack's Story

Colby Jack is a 2 years old male Miniature Poodle/Mix who weighs 20 pounds. *It is difficult for Colby Jack to meet new people. Because of that, he can be met by appointment only. If you are interested in meeting Colby Jack please go to our website worcesterarl.org and fill out the Dog Adoption Inquiry Form https://worcesterarl.org/dog-adoption-inquiry/ - please indicate when you would be available on Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday between 9am and 3pm on any part of the form and a staff member will reach out. You can email dogs@worcesterarl.org with questions. Meet Colby Jack, a 2-year-old energetic poodle mix with a sensitive but playful personality. Found wandering as a stray in Worcester, Colby is looking for a fresh start. Colby is adorable and learning that the world can be a kind place. He does have clear boundaries around handling and prefers calm, respectful interactions, so he's seeking an adult-only home with patient, gentle adopters who are happy to go slow and build trust at his pace. If you are looking for dog that you can snuggle and pet right away, Colby Jack is not the right fit. Colby will need regular professional grooming to keep his coat healthy and free of mats. With thoughtful introductions, he may be able to live with or enjoy the company of other dogs and meet-and-greets are required for dogs as well as all human members of the household. If you're looking for a devoted companion and are willing to let Colby set the pace, he would be a wonderful match.

You can decide at the end of a month if you wish to continue the insurance. Occasionally there are discounted rates for adult animals that have been in the shelter for many months or for bonded pairs that must be adopted together. WARL Adoption Hours Sunday through Saturday, Noon to 4 pm. Adoptions are typically a same-day process unless the adopter places a 24-hour hold* on the pet. You can expedite the adoption process by bringing your lease, and landlord’s phone number (if applicable) when you come to the shelter. If you own the property, you may be asked to bring in a mortgage statement as proof of home ownership. It’s crucial that you bring all family members or roommates to meet the animal at the shelter. If you’re adopting another dog, bring your current dog to the shelter to meet the possible new one. *What is the 24-hour hold? You can put a 24-hour hold on an animal while you round up family members, roommates or just to make arrangements to take the animal home. You have to request the hold in person; you can’t do it over the phone. If you adopt the animal, the $25 hold fee is deducted from the adoption fee. If you decide against adopting that animal, the fee will not be returned. Adopt Responsibly Falling in love with an animal, at first sight, is easy, and with any relationship, it will take work. Tell us about your lifestyle and what you want in a pet and let WARL’s experienced staff help you choose the best pet for you. What kinds of dogs do you have? Dogs are individuals and only a small percentage of their genetics dictate their physical appearance. At WARL, we do our best to identify what breed we believe they resemble the most, however, unless an animal is surrendered with a Pedigree, identifying the breed is the tip of the iceberg.
