Story
Roxy is a Beagle, French Bulldog mix. Her parents were both pure bred so she is considered a Frengle. She is was born in June 2022. She is a strong, active dog. She loves to run and explore. She is great with everyone, especially kids. She needs a home that will take her on long walks or runs daily, has a large fenced in backyard where she can be outside much of the day, or has lots of land for her to be outside to run daily. She likes to be in a crate when left alone or at night- if not she gets very mischievous around the house. She is a dog that loves to explore so she needs to be on a leash or allowed to have freedom (with lots of land).

Story
Marnie was adopted at 12 weeks from a rescued litter of 5 pups. She is 3 years old. She’s full of energy and personality. She’s smart and eager to please but requires more discipline and training than we are able to provide for her. She is a little too playfully rambunctious with our older Yorkie but for the most part they get along well. Marnie is, however, aggressive toward our cat. She absolutely loves being able to run and bark outside but also enjoys cuddle time.

Story
Bixby is a sweet dog that I adopted from a shelter several years ago. He is approximately 5 years old and around 65 lbs. I am not able to care for Bixby and exercise him the way he needs on walks. His main behavior issue is pulling on walks and lunging- although he is generally friendly with other dogs. I don't have the right home for a large dog and physically can not handle him. I’m looking to rehome asap.

Dodger is one cool hound dog! Just look at that face! Dodger is smart and sweet but sassy and stubborn.  He is slowly learning commands but just wants to play and be goofy all the time. He would probably love to be a running partner with all his energy. Looking for a great co worker? Dodger will even try to help you type! He loves to go for walks, play tug, run around the yard, ride in the car, and Snuggle! DOB May 2023. Dodger is housebroken and gets along with everyone - people, dogs and cats.

Story
Trixx came from a rural shelter with little chance of finding a home. She is a young girl with lots of love to give. She likes to go on walks, loves her chew toys, is housebroken and crate trained. She is 1 year old and full grown at 35 pounds. She is in foster with cats and when they swat her she knows to leave them alone. She likes to play with the big dogs but plays a bit too rough for smaller dogs or timid cats.

Story
I'm a young pup with so much life to live and so much energy to live it with. I'm ready to start having lots of adventures with my special people. I'm working on house breaking, i do well in my crate, I'm learning toys are the best, and I like to chase a ball. I'm sure I will love to fetch when I'm bigger. I was born November 2023 so I'm still a baby. p>I am in a foster home so if you are interested in adoptiong me, please fill out an online adoption application at https://colonycats.org/adoption_app.html to expedite the process.  Due to the large number of inquiries we receive, we are unable to respond to emails quickly.  April 23, 2024, 9:20 pm
