My Story

BLACK DOGS ARE THE LAST TO BE ADOPTED AND ARE SOME OF THE MOST WONDERFUL EVER!  COLE is all of that and MORE! At 85 lbs of love, Cole is affectionate, calm, and eager to be by your side. Cole is a handsome Black Lab mix with a sweet, gentle nature and a big heart. After a rough start in life, he has truly blossomed in foster care and continues to grow more confident every day. He has done wonderfully in a real family home with children ages 7 and 9, on a busy neighborhood street with people coming and going, kids playing, and dogs being walked. Cole is loving, and eager to please — a true gentle giant. Cole walks beautifully on leash, especially with a harness, and even helps walk the kids to school in the mornings. He loves being outside, enjoys exercise, and would make a great walking or running companion. Indoors, he’s affectionate, well-mannered, and happiest curled up close to his people. Cole is sweet, smart, and deeply loving. He is sensitive with his ears, that had been infected and sore before he was treated, but once trust is built, he is completely comfortable — he simply needs gentle handling and kindness. He has not had structured introductions with other dogs yet, but would likely do well with slow, thoughtful introductions, and would also be happy as the only dog. He did live with a smaller buddy dog at one foster home and did really well.  Cole is looking for a stable, loving home where he can feel safe, secure, and truly part of a household. In return, he will give you unwavering loyalty, affection, and companionship.
