History: Colter is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome who is working on his trust and confidence and hopes to find his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Meet Colter… but he goes by “Crush” because he will steal your heart 💙
And trust us—once you meet him, you’ll understand why.
Crush is a 7-year-old toy poodle with a soft soul, a cozy vibe, and a professional-level snuggle game. His favorite place? Curled up right next to you (or better yet… on you). He’s the kind of dog who doesn’t just sit beside you—he connects with you.
This sweet boy has come a long way from his past life and is learning just how good the comfy, couch-loving, treat-filled life can be. He’s gentle, affectionate, and happiest when he knows he’s safe and loved.
✨ Crush’s highlights:
Certified cuddle bug 🛋️
Loves being close to his person 💕
Calm, gentle, and easy to love
Does well with potty training on a schedule!
Does great walking on a leash
🩺 Health note (the honest but easy version):
Crush has a mild heart murmur (very common in small dogs!) that just means he’ll need routine vet check-ins every 6–12 months to keep an eye on things. The good news? He’s not on any medication and is doing great! He also takes a daily supplement to support his liver.
💙 What Crush is looking for:
A home where he can continue to blossom—someone who appreciates the quiet moments, the little tail wags, and the joy of earning a shy dog’s full trust. He’s not flashy… he’s heart-stealing.
💙He’s not a big fan of bare wood floors, so would do best in a home with carpet or rugs.
💙He loves other dogs, but also loves his human, so he would do well as an only dog or with other dogs.
If you’re looking for a loyal guy with the softest heart… Crush might just be your perfect match. 💕
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
