Colby (formerly Chili Pepper) came to us a few weeks ago, and while he loves playing with Missy, who’s also boarding at Pampered Pooch, he really needs a foster home!
Colby grew up in the shelter, but has the sweetest demeanor. He’s a smaller black lab, about a year old. He is a very laid, especially for an adolescent boy! He walks very well on the leash, and a slight fear of small doorways, but is getting over that.
Colby gets along well with cats, as well as other dogs. He's a little bit of a follower and really needs someone who will love him and help him gain his confidence. A good leader with a gentle touch would be helpful for this boy.
Heather, a trainer at PP, hung out w/ both Colby and Missy yesterday and had this to say:
I took Colby and Missy out to Petsmart today for a nice little walkand to see how they did around distractions and how they walk onleash. They did absolutely fabulous at the store, in fact its funny how theybehaved 10 times better than all the other dogs in the store withtheir actual owners!! Dogs barked and snarled at them and they juststood and looked at them like "what are you doing?" They could havecared less! Both walked awesome on gentle leaders and by the time weleft, they were both walking behind me.

It’s pretty cute how well these two get along. If someone could handle it, they would do great getting adopted into the same home, and they could wear each other out! 
If you are looking to foster a truly nice dog, you can’t go wrong with Colby! And of course if you’re interested in fostering two absolutely wonderful dogs, Missy would love to go home you as well!
