Story
T-Rex is a 4-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier I adopted when he was 11 weeks old from the Columbus Humane Society. He has been the only pet in the house the whole time. Within the last year or two, he started having skin flare-ups from food allergies. He was on a prescribed food and steroids which helped, but it was becoming very expensive and I couldn’t keep up after the loss of my job. I now home-cook his food and he takes a multivitamin, which helps, but not as much as the medicated food. T-Rex really is such a good dog and an absolute sweetie and loves to snuggle. I just can’t afford to pay for the life he deserves anymore.T-Rex is:• Neutered and housetrained• Good with kids• An absolute sweetie who loves to snuggle• A fan of watching dramas, rom-coms, and horror movies on the couch• Managing food allergies that require a specific diet• Anxious during car rides and nail clippingsI just want him to have the life he deserves with the right medical support.💰 Rehoming fee: $25

Story
Chirpy is 5 years old, she is part boxer and part pit bull. She’s one of the best dogs we’ve ever had, she’s very obedient, people pleasing, potty trained, chirpy is on a potty schedule and does not alert us to go outside we just do it on a schedule basis, she’s also crate trained. She cannot be left out of her cage by herself as for she gets anxiety and WILL have accidents in the house. She however does sleep with us/ our kids at night, She’s been around other dogs and kids of all ages. She is up to date on vaccines. Since she is part boxer she has skin issues, so she is prescribed allergy meds on a daily basis to entirely control this issue, it is important she takes it every morning after her meal. She will be sent with what’s left of the prescription she takes for her skin allergy.

Story
We got Georgie from Petland at the beginning of this year. He will be one October 25th. He is the sweetest, goofiest, most snuggly boy you will ever meet. Unfortunately, we have a little one and another on the way and won’t be able to give him the love and attention he deserves. We’re looking for a home that will unconditionally love him and be able to help him grow into the best boy he can be. He is great with other dogs, cats, and children. And he will never fail to make you laugh or plug your nose (if you know what I mean 💨)

Story
DOB: 1/18/2026 Hi there, I’m Peanut!  I’m a Chihuahua mix puppy and pretty much everything in the world is brand new and exciting to me. I’ve got a whole lot of energy packed into my little body and I love to run and play and explore. But here’s my secret. When the playing is done, all I really want to do is climb into your lap and snuggle up close. I’m a serious cuddle bug. I follow my foster mom everywhere she goes. Kitchen, couch, you name it, I’m right behind her like a tiny shadow. And when it’s mealtime I sit and wait so patiently because I already know good things come to puppies who are sweet. I get along with just about everybody. The kittens, the older cats, the big dogs, I love them all and I just want to be friends. I think the world is a wonderful place full of people and animals to love. I also love going to new places and seeing new things. Adventure is my middle name. I’m doing really well with my crate training and my potty training too. I’m even learning to ring a little bell when I need to go outside, and I’d love a person who keeps helping me get really good at it. At the end of the day I curl up with my foster family and my foster sibling and I feel so safe and happy. That’s all I want for the rest of my life. Someone to love, a warm spot to snuggle into, and a few new adventures along the way. Could that someone be you?   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.  October 21, 2026, 10:59 pm
