Colby is Pet of The Week at Your Rancho Coastal Humane Society

He needs people and dogs.

Colby is pet of the week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He’s a 7-1/2 year old, 19 pound, male, Terrier mix.

Colby is a recent return guest to Rancho Coastal Humane Society. He arrived 5 years ago and he was adopted right away.

His owner was home with Colby most of the time, so he had a constant companion. He bonds quickly and strongly.

He loves going for walks, playing with his ball, and hanging out with his people. He can be a little bit selective when it comes to his dog friends.

When Colby’s owner died recently, his family trusted Rancho Coastal to find him another great home, just like 5 years ago.
