Colt is the ultimate velcro lite sweetheart a loyal little shadow who just wants to be wherever the love is! He specializes in quiet companionship; he’ll follow you from room to room just to make sure you’re doing okay, then happily curl up at your feet like a fluffy rug. He is the cutest Passenger Prince and lives for a good car ride! Whether you’re heading out on a grand mountain adventure or just making a quick run for a Pup Cup at the drive thru, Colt is your ready.
At a perfectly huggable 56 pounds, this fluffy hunk is the absolute best of both world sturdy enough to be your brave adventure buddy, but just the right size to snuggle beside you on the sofa without taking over the whole sofa! While we think our handsome Colt is a Siberian Husky mix, he clearly decided that "sled dog energy" wasn't for him. Instead, he’s a big dog with an even bigger heart who prefers living life in the slow lane. Like all of our unique rescue superstars, his breed is our best "ruff" estimate, but those soulful eyes and movie star good looks are 100% official! He’s the ultimate medium sized package of love, wrapped in a coat that’s just begging for extra ear scratches.
Colt is currently blooming in his foster home, proving every day that he is the ultimate family man in a fluffy coat! He is best friends with a two year old human, and their bond is just about the cutest thing you’ll ever see. Whether he’s supervising playtime and perhaps "training" the little ones on how to master the perfect belly rub or showing off his leash skill on sunny neighborhood stroll, Colt is a total gentleman. While most people think of his breed and imagine a dog bouncing off the walls, Colt is here to prove them wrong! He's remarkably calm, with just a pinch of silliness for when the toys come out.
When it comes to other pups, Colt is a total social butterfly who speaks dog fluently! He’s a total playground pal who is always down for a game of tag or a high stakes nap competition! He’s got that perfect "let's be besties" energy and is a master of those big, wiggly play bows that make every dog in the neighborhood want to join his club. Because he’s so easygoing and sweet, Colt would be over the moon as your one and only superstar or as the bestest big brother to a canine sibling!
Is he cat friendly? All signs point to a resounding yes! He opted to sit on the couch and roam calmly around the cat. He seems to have a very soft soul when it comes to feline friends. To be absolutely certain, he’ll just need a quick supervised sleepover with a kitty to confirm they’ll be best buds forever!
Believe it or not, this fluffy hunk is a total "chill-l vibes only" guy who is officially apartment approved! While he loves his outdoor time, he is remarkably calm indoors. Plus, he’s a total pro on where to do his business (potty trained), which is basically the gold medal of doggy achievements! He’s looking for a home that appreciates his affectionate nature, his play hard, nap harder lifestyle ans doesn't mind a little bit of adorable commentary. One thing is for sure: between those soulful melt your heart eyes and his silly little woo woos, Colt is guaranteed to make every single day brighter (and a little more musical)!
In short, Colt is the total package the missing puzzle piece your family has been waiting for! He is a majestic, fluffy sweetheart who is kid friendly, dog approved, and always car ride ready. From his super soft fur that’s perfect for snuggles to those sweet, slobbery kisses he loves to give, he’s a professional at spreading joy. He’s just a happy go lucky guy looking for a forever home!
Is your heart ready for a Colt sized upgrade?

https://g.co/kgs/UQ5Pyai We care deeply about creating lasting matches between dog and family for long term success, and take the time to ensure each adoption is a fit through our matchmaking process.
At our 2 acre Texas based property, we assess every animal with trainers on staff, we modify behavior as needed, and create individualized behavior plans to help prepare dogs for their future families including crate training, potty training, leash walking, etc. Our fosters are able to attend group training and socialization play groups helping them stay confident, well rounded, and adoption-ready. Our on-site trainers are dedicated to each dog’s growth and we enjoy seeing their progress!
We go above and beyond to ensure every animal receives exceptional care. Veterinarians consistently praise our medical standards. From routine care to advanced treatments, each dog receives personalized attention. Hard costs for a healthy dog range from $804-$920; heartworm-positive dogs or those needing specialized care can exceed $2,000+. Adoption fees help cover a portion of these expenses, but without government funding, we rely on fundraising to bridge the gap—ranging from $100–$1,000+ per dog.
Our adoption fees reflect the extensive care and resources that go into each animal we save. The adoption fee is a donation to the mission and goes far beyond getting a fully vetted pet.
