Colby’s Rescue Story

Colby was rescued along with 6 siblings. They had been living in a car park next to a building site since they were born. It was very dangerous for them as cars coming in and out never cared that they were there and one of Colby’s siblings was even badly hurt by one of the cars and no one even got medical care for her.

The building site was nearly finished and the government was to be called soon about the puppies. One of the feeding ladies was very worried about them as the government shelters are full to the brim and they would not get the medical attention or love that they so very much deserve. They were rescued one evening and taken straight to the vet for medical care. All 7 puppies were covered in fleas and were so dirty, hungry and dehydrated.

Luckily a wonderful foster mom agreed to take them in and they have been living at the foster home with several other rescues. Colby and his siblings have become a part of the family learning how to walk on the leash and housetraining.

We are so happy that Colby and his siblings are now safe and they have grown into beautiful loving pups. Colby is vaccinated, neutered and chipped and ready for that special home where he’ll will just want to play and have fun with his new parents and we know that he will very much enjoy park time.
