Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Kolby is a handsome and happy, high-energy and fun, six-year-old, 12-pound, male Yorkie/Silky Terrier-mix looking for a loving guardian.
Kolby had a tough puppy-hood. He lived with a family whose children would often lock him in a closet.
He’s a nervous fellow but calms down when in a stable and loving home environment. He can snap when he’s pushed too far, so he is recommended for an adult-only household.
Kolby is housebroken but can mark occasionally if he smells the scent of other dogs.
Kolby is healthy, neutered, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped and heartworm-tested.
If you are interested in meeting and possibly adopting Kolby, please fill in the online application at http://famousfidorescue.com/rescueforms/machform/view.php?id=26727 and follow up by contacting Gloria at fido@famousfidorescue.com or 773-907-0305.
His adoption fee of $250 benefits the rescued pets of Famous Fido’s.
Kolby is at the Famous Fido Rescue, 3124 W. Irving Park Road at Troy Street in Chicago, Illinois 60618. Please call or e-mail for an appointment to see him and all the other wonderful dogs and cats.
