Story
Trenton is a 2-year-old neutered male Heeler/Hound mix with handsome red and white coloring and beautiful speckling that makes him just as unique as his personality. He came from a situation where there were many dogs and limited positive human interaction, so he is still learning how to build confidence and trust with people.Trenton has already made great progress and continues to improve every day. He is starting to seek out human affection more and more, showing just how much he wants to connect—he just needs a little time and patience to fully come out of his shell. Once he feels safe, he has the potential to form a strong and loyal bond with his people.He is doing much better on a leash and has really begun to enjoy going for walks. Walks are becoming a great way for him to build confidence and explore the world at his own pace. He is also very treat-motivated, which makes him a great candidate for training with positive reinforcement.Trenton would do best in a calm home without young children, where the environment is quiet and predictable so he can continue to gain confidence. When meeting other dogs on leash, he has seemed okay with gentle, respectful dogs, but he can show some barrier reactivity and may be selective about his canine companions. Because of this, a meet and greet will be required for any dogs already in the home.Trenton would likely thrive in a house with a secure yard where he can safely explore, stretch his legs, and continue building confidence at his own pace. With the right patient and understanding family, Trenton has all the potential to blossom into a devoted, affectionate companion.

Story
Castiel is a 2-year-old hound mix with a gentle soul and a soft, sweet personality. This handsome boy knows sit and takes life at a calmer, easygoing pace. He is interested in toys and treats, but he is not overly motivated by them — he is more of a “soft pets and good company” kind of guy. Castiel will come up to enjoy gentle affection and is very polite when soaking up attention. He came from a home with other dogs, but he can have a dominant male personality and may bark at dogs through the fence, so slow and thoughtful introductions are recommended. Castiel also takes his breakfast very seriously and enjoys starting his day with a good meal. With patience, structure, and a loving home, Castiel is ready to be someone’s loyal, gentle companion.HEARTWORM POSITIVE: IS TREATED AND COVERED IN FULL BY THE COLONY ANIMAL SERVICES.

Story
Meet Nemo — our handsome 6.5-year-old Retriever mix with the sweetest face and those adorable ears that stand straight up!Nemo is the definition of a laid-back best friend. This sweet boy has a gentle, loving personality and absolutely adores being around people. He recently got to go out on an adventure and did amazing! Nemo was excited to explore new environments, happily let people pet him in the store, and soaked up all the attention like the social butterfly he truly is. He also rode wonderfully in the backseat, making him an excellent companion for road trips, errands, or weekend adventures.While Nemo enjoys lounging around and relaxing with his people, he still loves getting out for walks to stretch his legs and explore the world. Because of his easygoing nature, he could do well in either a house or an apartment setting as long as he gets regular walks and exercise.When he’s not out adventuring, Nemo enjoys soaking up the sunshine, staying close to his people, and handing out hugs. And if you really want to become his favorite person? Chicken jerky treats are definitely the way to his heart (though he’s still working on taking them a little more gently!).Nemo can be selective with other dogs, so a meet and greet is required. He may also be happiest as the only pet where he can soak up all the love and attention for himself.If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate companion who is equal parts adventure buddy and couch potato, Nemo is ready to become your very best friend.
