Colby is the bestest boy! At just 9 months old, he is a petite 40ish lbs.
He was surrendered at no fault of his own. His family was moving and couldn't take him. He was living outside with another dog-- the other pup was very matted and starved for attention. He and the other pup had been fed raw potatoes and vomited them here the 2nd night, after some tummy issues. They're lucky to be alive.
He has been here a few weeks and is a completely different pup now! He is confident, happy, outgoing, and very affectionate!
