Colt

ABOUT THIS ANIMAL:
Hi, I’m Colt — my name might bring to mind a young horse galloping through a field, and while I do enjoy a good walk or a playful dash around the yard, I’m just as happy lounging and taking naps. I’ve got a gentle heart and a loyal soul, especially with the people I know and trust.

New situations and unfamiliar people can make me nervous. Even though I’m a big guy, the world can feel a bit scary sometimes. Because of that, I’m looking for a calm, quiet home with no children and a very experienced adopter who can help me build confidence at my own pace. I’m not the kind of dog who wants to be rushed — I need time, patience, and someone who sees past the fear and into my kind heart.

If you’re the kind of person who values connection and is willing to put in the time to earn my trust, I promise I’ll repay you with loyalty and love.

HOW AM I WITH DOGS:
Not specified – FOHA can help assess my compatibility with other dogs during the meet-and-greet process.

HOW AM I WITH CATS:
Unknown – FOHA can cat-test me upon request.

HOW AM I WITH KIDS:
I need an adult-only home with no children due to my fearfulness and need for a quiet, predictable environment.

I KNOW THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
Not listed – but I’m smart and will thrive with positive reinforcement and patient training.

MY HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING:
I’m fully housebroken and take pride in keeping my space clean. A calm, consistent routine helps me feel secure.

THINGS I LIKE:
Long walks, calm yards for a quick dash, quiet places to nap, gentle companionship, and people I trust.

THINGS I DISLIKE:
Loud noises, unfamiliar people or situations, and being rushed. I do best with slow introductions and patient humans.
