Story
What a face! Humphrey is a big doofus. When he arrived he weighed 14 lbs. He was living in a crate and being starved to death. But with the right vet care and foster he is now 40 lbs and loving life. He still wants to eat too fast so he uses a special bowl to slow him down. Humphrey is still learning he can go outside to potty and he doesn't have to do his business in his crate. At some point his ears were cut off, probably with scissors, but that doesn't seem to bother him. And it just gives him a special look, along with his squatty muscular body. He needs a strong person to help him keep learning life can be good. He can be reactive with some dogs. No idea about cats but probably should not live with them. He does think he should be a lap dog and loves belly rubs. 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.  February 11, 2025, 6:40 am

Rubi is a sweet, well mannered 3 yr old pit that loves everyone. She is crate trained, house broken, knows commands and wants to make you happy. She loves to play with other dogs, we've discovered she is great at agility and she respects cats. This sweet girl just needs a home of her own so she can get all the live she deserves.  Rubi is spayed,  microchipped and up to date on vaccines.August 26, 2025, 5:57 pm

Story
Babygirl has been my emotional support animal since I got her 12 years ago. Unfortunately my subsidiary housing management wont accept the paperwork necessary to keep her so they are threatening eviction if I dont get rid of her. It breaks my heart to have to let her go, but I have to choose between her or homelessness. She’s a really good, quiet, chill girl. She is 12 ( Senior) so sometimes she has accidents she is unable to control. She cannot jump on beds or anything like she used to so she mostly just lays in her soft little plush bed. She likes kibbles n bits mini bits and she will play with toys sometimes. She loves slim Jim’s as a snack. She loves people. She may not have very much time left on her hands but I would love for her to have a loving family or shelter to carry her through to the end.

Story
I am an Air Force Vet and first time dog owner, I found Duke at a local dog shelter. He was around 1 year old when I adopted him about a year ago. Duke is a veryyy friendly dog absolutely loves people and loves to cuddle he will lay down with you all day on the couch and not move if you let him. The reason I am looking to rehome is because I am a single guy and my schedule is really busy as a full time student and soccer coach and that means I have to leave Duke in a crate for the majority of the day and even when I am home I cant spend much time with him because of my school work. I feel Duke would do very well in a house with multiple people to give him attention and able to take him out to run around a be a young dog. Duke is very well trained he knows sit, down, crate, heel/tight, free, he is even trained on E-collar and will recall with the tone sound. Please feel free to ask any questions about him!

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Carl is a mix of pit bull, blue heeler, and boxer (one parent was full pit bull and one parent was 50/50 boxer/blue heeler). We got Carl from a family in the area when he was around 3 months old. He just turned 5. He is a very sweet boy, but can be reactive to seeing people or people with other dogs. He has a loud bark, but he has never bitten anyone or any other dog. He has experience with medium and small dogs (small being a 6 pound dog) and has played well with them. He has been around infants and early toddler aged kids and has seemed to do well with them (does like to lick in the face). He is crate trained but not house trained well. He is harness trained (best with a front lead harness). We did just take him to a 10 day training to focus on his reactiveness. He is doing better and we continue to work with him with an e collar and prong collar. He is a very sweet and silly boy that we are hoping finds a family that has more space to give him and more time to keep up with training
