About this Dog
COLTON NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!! Name: Colton Best Guess for Breed: Shepherd/Malinois Mix Best Guess for Age: 2 years as of April 2025 SEX: Male Approximate Weight: 49 lbs Gets Along With: Colton does well with other dogs! We have tested him with some of the cats at the shelter, and he did not seem particularly interested in chasing or pouncing on the cat. While this is a positive sign that Colton could live with a cat, he/she has not done so to our knowledge. We haven't seen him with kids and are happy to discuss integration techniques with any potential adopters! Currently Living at: DC area foster home.

Special adoption considerations: Because Colton is shy, he needs to go to a home with a confident, welcoming resident dog. Colton is Looking For: His forever home! Colton wants nothing more than to trot through the world with all the confidence of a well-loved dog. He is eager to burn off all that awesome young-dog energy with romps in parks, long sniffy walks, and all the adventures his humans can dream up. Thing is, he hasn't seen nearly enough of the world yet and right now he's shy. He needs extra loving and patient adopters who will help him explore at his pace, and a welcoming resident dog who will show him how to dog. Most of all, though, he wants to know where he belongs - and to be safe and loved under his own roof. In exchange, he promises to give adoring gazes, to make his humans laugh, and to be a loyal companion for all his days. What do you say? Does Colton get to spend his life with you? What My Foster Says About Me: Colton is a really funny and silly dog. He absolutely loves to play and enjoys running around. Once Colton gets to know other dogs, he loves being "one of the dogs" and thrives in the companionship of other dogs. Just like with dogs, Colton needs a little bit of time to warm up to people before feeling comfortable, but eases in quickly. He has learned to sit, crate, and if you pat your chest and say "Colton hug" he will jump up and wrap his arm around your neck. Love it! He has excellent house manners and will ask to go out if he needs to. Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.

Adopt Colton and Receive Colton's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Colton's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Colton's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Colton, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Colton's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Colton was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Colton’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Colton’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Colton’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
