Meet Colette! This spirited young girl adores butt scratches and is eager to share her cozy cuddles with a special someone. With a playful spirit, Colette is always up for a game of tug of war-it's one of her absolute favorites!

Not only is she a fun-loving companion, but she's also quite the brainiac! Colette is eager to learn and loves showing off her tricks, with "spin" being her latest achievement. She's fully house-trained, happily roaming around without any destructive tendencies when left home alone.

Colette gets along well with other dogs and has lived with a cat; so she could happily share her home with a furry sibling. She's also spent some time with a pot-belly pig and tortoise on a fieldtrip; she was completely unphased so we think she could be great for a home with some farm animals too!

Colette is looking for someone who has had experience with dogs to help her transition from shelter life so she can flourish. We know that change can be tough; especially after being in this stressful environment for so long. Our hope is that with the help of an experienced foster she can overcome her past and look towards her future. Colette and her foster will also have the full support of APA's behavioral team to make sure she settles in well and that you are set up for success throughout this process! If you or someone you know has the experience to help our sweet Colette please email [email protected] today!

INTERESTED IN FOSTERING?

This pup is currently located at our Town Lake Animal Center (1156 W. Cesar Chavez, but use 1200 Reserve Road for mapping purposes). We'd love to show them off to you! To learn more about them, head in any day between 12:00PM - 6:00PM. We are open 7 days a week! Go to Building B and ask to speak with a Matchmaker about fostering this pup. You will sit down and discuss all we know about them and, if it's a good fit, get to meet them then! Please budget for a wait time unless you arrive right at opening as we cannot dictate walk-in traffic (wait times tend to be highest in the evenings and on weekends). If this pup ends up not being the best fit, we have so many other pups in need that we can suggest for your household on the spot!
