NAME: Colby Sex: male Color/Pattern: Fawn with white patches and gray freckles Breeds: Staffie, Australian Shepherd Cattle dog, Chow Chow, Bulldog, Husky Age at intake: 2 weeks old BDAY: June 30 2023 Coat length: short Description Colby is a quiet, well-behaved, cuddly, green-eyed, wide-load teenager who has a beautiful pattern and coloration. Personality Colby is the most distinctive in his litter, with the most white and most freckles. He is uber-friendly and obedient. He is very well socialized to other dogs, cats and people and loves attention. He is even-tempered and not high energy. You can accidentally step on his tail and he won’t even react. He doesn’t stir the pot or cause any ruckus. He happily partakes in puppy piles and wrestling matches, but is good about pausing before someone takes it personally. He takes cues from other dogs and pays attention to tone and body language. His skills include hide and seek, being clumsy and waddling, and of course eating and napping. Colby is a very sweet boy who will fit into any home, get along with everyone, and settle in quickly. Background Colby’s litter was born to a stray momma, Velveeta, who had been running loose in a neighborhood in Spring TX for many months. Velveeta is a red and black mixed breed who is only 35 pounds and was underweight when she arrived. She wouldn’t ever let anyone come close to her until she gave birth to her 8 puppies in a neighbors garage. Another neighbor then took her in to get them out of the extremely hot weather, and let her nurse her litter in their laundry room. When the puppies were 2 weeks old they were transferred to a GNAR foster home. 4 girls and 4 boys. Velveeta was a very good momma to them and taught them to be good dogs. Colby was the first to be adopted out of the litter. He was recently returned after 4 months because the adopters weren't willing to discipline their cats, and let the cats harass Colby incessantly. He wasn't happy being bullied.
