Colby (Now named Rugby) – 2009 until now – Happy Tails!

July 31, 2014

Colby-RugbyI wanted to share our adoption success story.  My husband and I adopted “Colby” at the end of March 2009.  He was about three months old and was one of two brindle puppies in a litter of mostly black lab-looking puppies.  We fell immediately in love with him, and I just wanted you guys to know that getting him was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made in our lives.  
We renamed him Rugby, and he instantly became such a special part in our family.  He was a well-behaved, easy-to-train puppy, and grew up to be a sweet, loving, gentle dog.  He is seriously the best dog we’ve ever seen, and we get that comment from friends and strangers alike.  It’s a good thing he’s so gentle…when we adopted him, he was about 16 lbs.  Now he’s 110 lbs!  
Thank you so much for your great work!  I’m attaching a collage of pictures of Rugby from 2009 to now.
Lori and Jeremy Goodwin
