Kolby - big loving silly teddy bear - Mixed Breed Dog Available for Adoption in Oshkosh, Wisconsin

Kolby is a true staff favorite and recently spent time in a home where he did wonderfully with people—he just got a little too excited about meeting the resident cats.

Because of that, he’s back at the shelter, and it’s been hard on him. Since returning, he’s been more anxious and a little down… and we don’t want kennel stress to dim this very good boy’s light.

We know Kolby will thrive in a home. He just needs someone to give him that chance—whether it’s a forever family or even a temporary foster to help him decompress.

Kolby is a sweet, sensitive soul (with a face that looks like a cuddly little bear 🐻).

He loves to play, zoom around with his toys, and then settle in close to his people for some well-earned snuggles.

He’s the kind of dog who just wants to be with you—loyal, loving, and always ready to brighten your day.

Here’s what makes Kolby so special:
• Enjoys walks & playtime but also happy to chill on the couch
• Housetrained and knows basic commands (sit, down, shake)
• Would do best as the only pet in the home
• Suggested for kids 10+ due to some sensitivity from a past paw injury
• 3 years old, 84 lbs of love, neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped

Kolby isn’t asking for much—just a safe place, kind people, and a chance to be the amazing companion we already know he is.

If you’ve ever thought about fostering, this is your sign. Even a short break from the shelter could make all the difference for him. And if you’re ready to open your heart for good… Kolby is ready to love you for a lifetime.

Please consider being the one who makes Kolby’s one wish come true. 🐾

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
