About Colin
Colin's foster carer has written ' A Day in the Life' about Colin's time in foster!
"Colin's days are mostly the same as he seems to respond well to routine. The day starts with a morning walk first thing and then back home for breakfast. He usually settles down after eating and has a bit of a snooze in his bed in my office. Later on in the morning, he likes to sit on the sofa and watch everything that goes on outside the window. At lunchtime, we go out for the second walk of the day. He is usually quite excited by this time and gets the zoomies around the house whilst I'm getting my boots and jacket on. After our walk, he watches me intently eat my lunch hoping for some treats to come his way! He usually settles down again for a snooze after this for a couple of hours. Mid afternoon we typically go in the garden and have a play. He likes tug of war when the mood takes him, but he is very strong so always wins! If the weather isn't nice then we'll stay inside and have a play or I'll give him a long lasting chew or an antler, which he very much enjoys. After expelling some energy, he will settle again and snooze for another hour or so until I finish work. We will then go for the 3rd walk of the day and then home for dinner. In the evenings, he usually tucks in to the antler again for a bit, but will then settle down quite well. He does enjoy a cuddle and stealing your warmth, so will happily join you on the sofa in the evenings."
Meet Colin, a handsome 4-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross with a big heart and an even bigger love for people. This affectionate boy absolutely adores spending time with his favourite humans and is always happy to make new friends along the way.
Colin is a clever lad with a gentle, easy-going nature. His perfect day involves curling up beside his beloved Caterpillar toy, watching the world go by from the window, or snuggling as close as possible to his humans on the sofa for a cosy TV session. His foster carers describe him as “very easy going” and a joy to have around the home.
While Colin enjoys his relaxing moments, he also has a playful and active side and would love a garden of his own where he can explore, sniff around, and enjoy playtime , especially with his treasured Caterpillar toy!
Colin is looking for an experienced, adult-only home with adopters who can spend most of the day with him while he settles in and builds his confidence. He is also looking to be the only pet in the home. In return, he promises to be a loving, loyal, and fun companion who will bring plenty of affection and character into your life.
Could you be the forever home Colin has been waiting for? AWE licence number 13090 by West Lothian Council.
