Congratulatuions, Colossus on your pending adoption!

Colossus is a great boy!  He is a fun dog that loves to play.  He will toss a basketball or soccer ball all by himself if you are not available, and then carry it around until you get the hint! :)  He is friendly and loves to talk and will give you an opinion on just about anything. He is a big boy, and just a bit thin - should fill out nicely with some good food and some loving TLC.

Colossus is new to us and is settling in with his foster - checking out all the new smells and stuff.  We will update his information from time to time and let you know just how he is doing.  We can tell you that Colossus is not only good looking, he is a very intelligent boy and he is not a wild child, just a little short on leash learning and some of the finer points of doggy manners, but  promises to be up to snuff in no time at all!  He will make some lucky family a great loyal and loving companion.  Please contact us for more information.

Foster Update 7/1/13:  Colossus is settled into his foster home and having a grand-old-time!  He has tons of toys to play with, has made friends with our 10 year-old female GSD, and just adores his 8-month-old human "foster brother."  His favorite place to sit is by our son's high chair, where he waits patiently for his new "brother" to hand him cheerios, rice rusks, or puffs.  In exchange he brings our little boy toys to play with.  It's a good thing we're not germaphobes because our son NEVER wants to give up the "teething toys" that Colossus has gently deposited on his lap or tray.
Colossus is working on his leash manners - he does very well once he's on leash but gets very excited when he thinks he's going for a walk.  We're working on making the leash less exciting by taking it out at other times and leaving it on him for a while before we take him for a walk.  He is a very smart boy and learns fast.  Don't let those floppy ears fool you - this guy is a GSD at heart.  He will do anything for a treat and knows sit, down, and place.  He also comes when called and is learning to heel. 
He is still very puppy-ish, but is a gentle giant.  He takes treats very, very gently, and readily hands over toys to play with.  He really does love his toys and will bring you one after the next hoping for a quick game of catch.  Today, he covered my dad in 5 different toys while he was sleeping, hoping that "grandpa" would wake up and play with him.
Colossus is a big love - great with other dogs and kids.  He'd fit well into most houses, but due to his size and excitability over leash walks, we think he'd do best with a family who has large-dog experience.
