My story

Meet the adorable Columbo—named after the tv detective. This little guy is a spirited, affectionate pup full of curiosity and charm. He is the most independent of his siblings and is also the leader of the group. Columbo greets each day like a new adventure, whether he's chasing after a favorite toy or sniffing out hidden treasures in the yard. When the fun settles down, he’s more than happy to snuggle up for some quiet cuddles and companionship. Columbo is a quick learner who thrives with gentle, consistent guidance. He’s currently making great progress with house training, crate time, leash walking, and basic commands. This sweet boy is searching for a loving home where he can continue to blossom, explore the world around him, and share his boundless affection. If you're looking for a loyal, joyful pup to bring energy, love, and a bit of puppy silliness into your life, Columbo just might be your perfect match. HISTORY Columbo came from a local shelter with his two siblings. HEALTH Columbo is up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines and preventatives, heartworm negative, microchipped, and will soon be neutered. PHYSICAL Columbo is tan and white markings on his face, chest, and toes with a black mask. He will likely be a medium to large sized dog.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Columbo, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
